    Oh, Jesus, these are beautiful. Thank you so much for this. I'm going to lift 3-4 of them and put them on my Facebook page with a link to you if that's okay. These images have very special power and sadness now -- all this amazing beauty and spirit buried under centuries of hatred and stupidity. Thank you again.

      Thank you so much, Timothy. Of course you may share them; none of these are images I personally own. I really loved putting this group together.

    Great post, Stephen!
    Just wondering if Scott Joplin's photo might be among these great ones.
    Thank you so much!

      I don't think so, Maria. For the most part, anyway, I tried to only include men who weren't famous; just regular guys! : )

    Hi Stephen, I put a link to this post on my Tumblr with some of my favorites of the pics you posted. It was then picked up by popular Tumblr and has been reposted a bunch from there. Thought you'd want to know that your work is getting a lot of Tumblr love.

    Men where so well dressed back in those days. My grandfather (my mothers father) who came to America froim Orense, Galicia region of Spain in 1920, told me the first thing he and other immigrant men did was to save money up for a nice suit ! As he told me, your appearance was everything in those days and a nice suit and how you presented yourself went a long way.

    Oh yes absolutely no wearing your pants off your behind and going to the store in your pajamas! There was absolutely a dress code!
