Historical Homos — Volume 01

posted by Amber Weaver October 15, 2018

Presenting Historical Homos, the world’s first no-fucks-given guide to history’s greatest homos: ladies, gentlemen, and every kween in between. Conceptualised by brother and sister duo Lucy and Sebastian Hendra, HH’s mission is to make the legacy of history’s greatest LGBTQ+ figures more visible than ever before. Lucy is a satirical graphic designer, and Sebastian is an over-educated queen with a passion for all things homo and all things historical.

Volume 1 of this epic publication is their first step into the wild and wondrous exploration of historical homosexuality. Inside its lovely pages you’ll discover 7 of the world’s most iconic YesterQueers, lavishly brought (back) to life in fabulous print. These were inspired by a series of short profiles that the pair created on Instagram, where they continue to stalk history’s greatest homos to find insight into their lives and dig ever deeper into their closets. After analysing the content they had gathered, Volume 1 of Historical Homos was born.

Take your sweet time to relish in all the scandalous stories, original artwork, and sexy puns we’ve curated to celebrate humanity’s vibrant – and ancient – LGBTQ+ past. This first volume is large-format perfect-bound book with 70 full-colour pages printed on high gloss.
