No clue when or where these two dapper men were posing, but I love the photo and am curious if others may be able to date the photograph. I found the picture on the homoaffectualism Tumblr page.

Much thanks to longtime reader, Angel, from Asturias Spain for sharing this great photo and suggesting it for a forthcoming vintage gay post. I love the picture of these two men posing on the beach in the early 1930s.
