Arnold Doyle (Vorder- und Rückseite): An incredible photograph circa 1891. The good looking young man in this image was a "working boy" at the infamous "Paresis Hall" male brothel, that was located in New York City. Situated on Fifth & Bowery off of Coopers Square, Paresis Hall was one of 3 male to male clubs that existed in NYC beginning in 1890. The numbers increased to no fewer than 6 by the early 1900's, which leaves one to wonder, in Victorian Society, when this sort of thing simply did not exist, it seems as though business was brisk. Male Bonding was practiced to the extreme. In this image we find a very handsome young man of 16 years, one Arnold Doyle. Arnold specialized in certain activities at the club which will be explained to the winning bidder. Photographs were always taken of the boys to be given or sold to "clients", depending on the generosity to the boy or the spending habits at the club. These photographs prompted longings and a return visit. This photograph was given to a working boy of the time, and who's collection this came from. It was given to him by the Danny. The complete story behind this remarkable image will be given to the winning bidder. A great story it is. crystal clear Photograph measures 4 1/4" x 6 1/2".

This is another photograph being sold on eBay from the collection held by a guy whose eBay seller's name is 'ParesisHall.' I have corresponded with him and he tells me he is writing a book about the NYC male brothels and the boys who worked in them. He has obtained permission from the buyer of each photo to publish it in the book. I don't know how many more photos he has, but as he lists them on eBay, I will continue to capture text and images and share them with you. They are a very significant contribution to gay history.
