Thanks to a generous donation by Tim T., I have recently received a treasure trove of
classic physique magazines. In the first of many series coming out of this, today I am posting
in its entirety the June, 1959 edition of Grecian Guild Pictorial. As you might expect there are
a lot of thinly veiled homosexual themes inside, along with some beautiful photography.
The cover is Glenn Bishop as photographed by Bob Delmonteque.
Wow, that body building and health sections, i wanna read them, so i can build like these hot vintage guys! Nice pic, you scanned it and upload it?
ReplyDeleteYes, I scanned it. Took a while, but was entirely worth it.
DeleteGoodness me, that must be a very early picture of Glenn Bishop. He looks very young and his physique, although already very harmonious, is still clearly in the making.
ReplyDeleteHe does look freshly minted, doesn't he.
DeleteI think the photograph was taken several years earlier (1955-1956)
DeleteLooks like Lake Michigan, probably Oettinger or Delmonteque.
Of course, he sold his own photos. Perhaps someone he hired.
The '55-'56 dating seems spot on to me.
