SOLD. Mid Century Fire Island Photography Collection

SOLD OUT.

 

Fire Island Edition.

This particular specific grouping of vintage male photography, postcards & misc items, originates from the archives of an elderly gay gentleman who passed in his early nineties.  I believe sharing this collection in this manner, pays homage to a period when men secretly loved one another. Enjoy !
