EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, featuring the renowned American writer Gertrude Stein and her beloved companion Alice B. Toklas. Taken in southeastern France during September 1944, the image showcases these two remarkable women walking along a road with their pet poodle by their side. Gertrude Stein, an influential literary figure of her time, is seen on the right side of the frame. With her distinctive middle-aged appearance and confident stride, she exudes an air of intellectual prowess and artistic brilliance. On her left stands Alice B. Toklas, Stein's lifelong partner and confidante. The bond between them is palpable as they walk together arm-in-arm. The presence of their loyal poodle adds charm to this already enchanting scene. Walking obediently on a leash, it symbolizes not only companionship but also hints at the unconventional nature of their relationship - one that defied societal norms at that time. Stein and Toklas were pioneers in openly expressing their lesbian identity during an era when such relationships were often hidden or condemned. Their love for each other transcended boundaries and became an inspiration for generations to come. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both the personal connection between these extraordinary women as well as their contribution to literature and LGBTQ+ history. It serves as a timeless reminder of courage, love, and resilience amidst challenging times.
