The exact nature of the relationship between J. Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson will probably never be known for sure. What we do know is that the two were companions of the closest nature and worked, ate, socialized, and even vacationed together for much of their lives. The offered image is a high grade image of the two together from 1938. Hoover was of course the head of the FBI and one of the most influential and powerful men in 20th century America. Reverse has a full paper caption and a nice stamp from the International News.
