Before RuPaul’s Drag Race propelled the cultural phenomenon into the global spotlight, drag had been around for thousands of years. Immerse yourself in the rich history of drag in this lusciously illustrated guide, brimming with dazzling colours and fabulous facts, all held together with a unique Swiss binding that lets each spread lay flat so that you can experience this book in all its trailblazing glory! The history of drag has been formed by many intersections: fashion, theatre, sexuality and politics–all coming together to create the show-stopping entertainment millions witness today. In this extensive work, Jake Hall delves deep into the ancient beginnings of drag, to present day and beyond. Vibrant illustrations enhance the rich history from Kabuki theatre to Shakespearean, the revolutionary Stonewall riots to the still-thriving New York ballroom scene. Nothing will go undocumented in this must-have documentation of all things drag.

Brigham Morris Young Here’s a collection of historical “drag queens” dating back to the 1800s and then onwards. The reason I’m using “drag queen” in double quotes is because I’m not entirely sure if these people were transgender, cross-dressers, dressing up as women for theatrical purposes or just for the of fun it. The information is very limited for each image. Either way, they’re all gorgeous and seem quite comfortable with themselves in front of a lens during a time when society looked down on such self-expression. Frederick Park and Ernest Boulton AKA “Fanny and Stella.” Yale students Vaudeville performer Julian Eltinge Civil War era Victor C. Seguro German crossdresser, Paul Storsberg Scott Barrie Lili Elbe was a transgender woman and one of the first known and historically identifiable recipients of sex reassignment surgery.
