Things May Not Be as They Appear

Musical accompaniment: Grinnin in Your Face by Son House.

 

A couple are standing on a dirt path beside a briefcase or a suitcase, gazing into the camera. I wouldn’t want to meet these two anywhere.

This 1915 picture, taken by an unknown photographer, seems commonplace enough. But the inscription at the bottom turns into a work of art!

I love you all the time

What do you make of it?

  1. The first impression is it’s a photo of two men, one in a woman’s apparel.

    Could they be a binary couple who exchanged their clothes for the photo?
