The Vintage Male Physique

 Lon Hannagan was based in New York and was one of the first physique photographers to capture black and latino models.  The large Italian immigrant population of NYC also provided an ample supply of models.   Here is my latest purchase.  Note the editing of the photo so that mailing it would not violate any obscenity laws.

  New acquisitions!  This one is quite nice and shows Bob Mizer's mother's glass image as the background.  Richard is quite handsome at 21! Really great facial expressions and poses.  Love the posing strap! Rare posing strap rear view of Richard - we get the front and the back!

 Recently acquired!  It's a beauty!!!
