Homo-erotic art
This is just one small section of huge, incredibly gay bas-relief surrounding the front doors of the PennMutual tower on Walnut St., just below 5th, directly across from Independence Hall. All of the scenes depict printing and the artist was obviously fond of young musclemen. I love that manly nipple!
UPDATE: I’ve been informed that this in the Classical Style which emulated ancient greek art, including their love of young men. The fact that the depictions are so…umm…hot is not necessarily a sign of the artist’s homosexuality.
