“Marie Høeg (1866-1949) and Bolette Berg (1872-1944) were Norwegian photographers from Horten, Norway. Marie, the more outgoing of the two, was an active women’s rights advocate who also enjoyed crossdressing in private. A private collection of photographs from the Berg and Høeg photography studio primarily shows Marie, with occasional appearances of Bolette, crossdressing in various fashions. These photographs show Marie’s willingness to digress from and contradict social norms.

Knight and heart that desires

“–The knight was soon laid bare, clothes all discarded save for his red belt and scabbard. Honeyed milk flowed from his water skin freely over his curls only leaving behind silky pearls that traveled their way down his body to the mud below. He threw the empty leather skin where most of the milk was already resting and stretched his arms open to his sides as if in taunt and mockery. For what sort of a man would leave his beloved to wait for almost thirty summers?”
