| Royale Studio - The Wallet 03 (colourised by mitchmen) |
After the marathon posting of 'Leather Merchants' and it's stars, posting of 'The Wallet' is now complete. It's the earliest Royale story with a coherent, dramatic plot line. It's come down to us complete and though the images are not of the finest quality, most of them have scrubbed up well and they repay study. As you can see above, I have experimented with colourising them, but will make a separate announcement about that later.
'The Wallet' stars Ron Fenn (aka the Tough Schoolmaster) and Ian McAllister (from TEDS) and, as you might guess from the picture above, it's about a pickpocket, but there's a surprising, not to say shocking outcome. The hidden subtext makes it one of Clavering's more political statements about the plight of gay men in 50s Britain.
McAllister's pose in the picture above (right) might remind you of a well-known image of a sailor by Lüger (aka Colt) and I cover that link in the gallery article.
