Think of the nascent things and events this man experienced in his lifetime: the automobile, both world wars, skyscrapers, the telephone, men in space. He spoke 7 languages. In 1941 he published The Way to Live. “Man is born without frying-pan or stewpot. The purest natural food for human beings would, therefore, be fresh, uncooked food and nuts.” He's worth a quick Google search.Michael.Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280603344039737390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524340241288844456.post-10924405259323757022019-07-28T14:23:02.781-10:002019-07-28T14:23:02.781-10:00As usual, you raise some interesting points for di...As usual, you raise some interesting points for discussion. I've read that string, paste, and hair pins were used to affix paper and cloth fig leaves. (Must have been great work if you could get it.) The obvious frequent use of post photo session paint-overs raises the tantalizing likelihood that there are or were fully nude versions of some of these images. I've managed to find a very few of those, but they're out there. Some Mid-Twentieth Century physique photographers actually penciled in posing straps that their customers could erase in a latter day version of the practice.Vintage Muscle Menhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244653188564625879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524340241288844456.post-19276243696210359302019-07-28T12:04:26.504-10:002019-07-28T12:04:26.504-10:00An interesting set.
