EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two Seated Young Men Holding Hands, 1880s" captures a poignant moment frozen in time. Taken in the late 19th century America, this image showcases the brave love between two men during an era when such relationships were often hidden or condemned. The unknown creator of this photograph beautifully portrays the tenderness and affection shared by these individuals. Their intertwined hands speak volumes about their connection and devotion to one another. In a society that largely rejected same-sex relationships, this image stands as a testament to love's resilience. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this tintype with applied color transports us back to a different time and place. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by LGBTQ+ individuals throughout history while also celebrating their courage to express their true selves. As we gaze upon this portrait today, it is important to acknowledge how far we have come in terms of acceptance and equality for all sexual orientations. This image invites us to reflect on our progress while honoring those who paved the way for greater understanding and inclusivity. In its simplicity, this photograph transcends time, reminding us that love knows no boundaries – not even those imposed by society or prejudice.
