Description: Seated blonde, brunette approaching.
Comment: A fine example from the burgeoning collecting field of gay and lesbian fiction from the 1950s-1960s. Much of the appeal of a picture such as this is clearly nostalgia... looking at back at a time where one couldn't find out all about “ancient rituals” on facebook and the like.
Price: $1,600 + $75 domestic shipping.
