The Little Young Men


THE LITTLE YOUNG MEN
(Les p'tits jeun' hommes)

Miklós Vadász
L'Assiette au Beurre, Paris 
1909    

Sixteen page issue of the satirical / anarchist magazine L'Assiette au Beurre with full-page illustrations and captions by the Hungarian artist Miklós Vadász, depicting gay men (not all young) in different social situations. These are not cruel, but gently mocking, and the last picture, depicting a man mourning the death of his lover, quoting Plato, is definitely sympathetic.
