The history of romantic love between men is portrayed in hundreds of photographs taken between 1850 and 1950, when male partnerships were largely illegal. The authors of Loving came across these images in flea markets, shoe boxes, family archives, old suitcases, online, and at auctions. Authors Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell can now boast a diverse collection from across the world including Australia, Bulgaria, Russia, Serbia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Greece. The subjects were identified as couples by the unmistakeable look of love in their eyes and their body language with subtle gestures, such as hands lightly brushing against each other, a clue to their closeness. Loving is a fascinating and beautifully curated book that recognises the indomitability of the human spirit and a longing for love’s shared truths.
