Nothing evokes the sexy nostalgic hotness of a man quite like a faded sepia photograph or an oil-on-canvas portrait. Is it just me or are ascots and epithets kind of a turn-on?

Young Stalin inspired me to do a little more research into the sexiest men of days of yore. After the jump, check out some more historical hotties. I think history is my new favorite subject.
