Modeling, 1940s

I'm including this photo of Mr. Atlas modeling for two reasons.  First, it's the closest we're ever going to get to a full frontal view.  (Assuming that he took his leopard print trunks off for the actual modeling, and assuming that the sculptor accurately represented what he saw, we may now have a idea about how things looked down there.)  Second, this is supposed to be from the 1940s, a time at which Charles Atlas would have been about 50.  Looks pretty damn good to me.
