Today's theme is naked men in the library day, and we start with what is in all likelihood a modern photo. There is a vintage element there, however. The man is supposed to be Paul Levalley, a researcher who wrote an article about the history of nudist publications, many of which were stored in the library shown. Mr. Levalley also wrote a book on nudity and culture.
That is him at his library in Florida, I have read a few online articles about the history of nudism. A freedom fighter for nudist expression and rights, which is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYes, a very good thing.
DeleteAs a retired librarian, I love your library day.
ReplyDeleteA very respectable career. Glad you enjoyed the set!
DeleteAnd sadly librarians are under attack today and on the front line opposing censorship and fighting grand standing supporters of censorship.

Reading is fundamental.
ReplyDeleteHOW cool !
ReplyDeleteI became aware of Mr Levalley in my studies of boys swimming nude in school.
ReplyDeleteHe probably had quite a bit of knowledge on the subject.
