Item Details
Description
This is a vintage 1964 large beautiful professional photo taken of Loring Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The photographer signed the photo "Prince Eugene," which could have been a pseudonym taken from a prominent gay figure in the 1600s because Loring Park was long known as a hub for homosexual activity.
Professionally mounted on paperboard. Handwritten on the back is "Loring Park at midnight. Photo by Eugene J. O'Reilly August 1964."
One of the first and most prominent figures in early Viennese gay history is François-Eugène, Prince of Savoy-Carignan (1663-1736), a French-born officer who came to Vienna at the age of 20 to offer support in the rescue of the city, which was at that time besieged by the Ottoman army. Historically known as Prince Eugene of Savoy, he quickly distinguished himself in a cavalry battle at Petronell, in Lower Austria, on July 7, 1683, and led multiple victorious military campaigns in the years following.
SIZE: 20" x 16".
