the life of Teddy Shore, who was born in 1911. Nothing is known about Shore except what is revealed through the photographs

to Europe in 1929. He is pictured with his many male friends at costume parties, on beaches, and in cafes in various European
locales. One album contains photographs of his San Francisco apartment. There is a photo of one of his friends with Imelda
