Men & Women, Women & Men

I run across photos like this from time to time; pictures where the male becomes female and the female becomes male.  Usually they're more casual.  They've swapped clothes and it has the feel of a drunken dare.  Sometimes, however, they're far more elaborate.  The man and woman in this image have opposite sex clothing that fits.  Perhaps it's from a play, but it was mounted on card stock, is fairly small, and not very good for a publicity still.  I'm thinking these two cross-dressed as part of their sex lives.  Or, in the nineteenth century, long before anyone had ever heard the word transgender, a man who wanted to be a woman and a woman who wanted to be a man, found each other and this is how they lived behind closed doors.
