DESCRIPTION:

(Taken from the www).

- Montague Glover was an architect, an army office awarded the Military Cross for bravery during World War I, a talented amateur photographer, and a homosexual. When he died in 1983 at the age of eighty-six he left behind thousands of photographs spanning the period from 1918 to the 1950s. They document the three great obsessions of his life: the search for "rough trade" on the streets of London; men in uniform; and the handsome East End lover with whom he shared his life for over fifty years - surmounting all obstacles of prejudice, class difference and separation.

James Gardiner has selected the most evocative of Montague Glover's photographs and put them into context with a commentary constructed from his own research into gay history, fragments of gay writing contemporary with the photographs, Glover's own wartime diary, and letters written to him by the men he photographed and loved.

The result is a remarkable story; not only of the private life of one gay man, but of the whole hidden history of what gay men really looked like, felt and dreamed in the first fifty years of the 20th century (approx 1901 - 1960’s).
