The Tim T. Collection - Grecian Guild Pictorial of June, 1959


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.

    1. Yes, I scanned it. Took a while, but was entirely worth it.

  2. Goodness 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.

    1. He does look freshly minted, doesn't he.

    2. I think the photograph was taken several years earlier (1955-1956)
      Looks like Lake Michigan, probably Oettinger or Delmonteque.
      Of course, he sold his own photos. Perhaps someone he hired.

    3. The '55-'56 dating seems spot on to me.
