I love this picture, not sure but I think this chap, was the married lover of EM Forster… His wife knew all about the relationship…. Very interesting sexy face.. I’ve seen the original at the Tate gallery at an exhibition. has led me to the following conclusion, EM Forster was an English novelist, short story writer, essayist and librettist. Many of his novels examine class difference and hypocrisy, including A Room with a View, Howard’s End, and A Passage to to India. Forster was homosexual (open to his close friends, but not to the public) and a lifelong bachelor. He developed a long-term relationship with Bob Buckingham, a married policeman. who was called PC 12 for very obvious reasons. PC LUST – David Mole
PC 12 by Charles Tunnicliffe, 1935.(West Park Museum) I am very proud that this website was the first to discover the secret behind this lustful art. – Mr Cox
Can someone explain the PC 12 reference to me please? Thanks
Hello Radovan, The gorgeous gentleman pictured is PC 12
E. M. Forster was also the author of MAURICE, a gay love story. I don’t think it was published until after his death. It was made into a lovely motion picture, sometime in the 1980s, if I remember correctly.
I’ve seen this picture in various places. He is indeed a very handsome fellow. Lucky EM Forster !!!! I couldn’t provide him with a passage to India, but i sure could provide him with a back passage to my heart 😍
