Found this collage while searching public domain image databases. It shows two women in a loving embrace, not much detail other than early 1900s which matches with their Edwardian era clothing. I like snapshots like these, together with preserved graffiti they're some of the best evidence we have of social history free of societal pressures and official conformity. A happy lesbian couple in a time that popular culture associates with austere misery.
