Download the full-sized image of Two men in elaborate drag. Photographic postcard. 192--.

Two men in elaborate drag dressed for an occasion. Head and shoulders portrait of two men in elaborate period costume (although quite which period is a mystery). Lots of wig and make-up, and the way in which the dark lipstick has been applied ('cupid's bow'), would suggest a date of mid-1920s

Part of James Gardiner Collection: photographs of military, naval, and prisoner-of-war camp drag.
