The Male Figure: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:35, 10 May 2021

Background

The Male Figure was a publication highlighting the physique photography of Bruce of L.A. (Bruce Bellas).

I have a complete collection of the 36 issues originally published, but I also own a duplicate copy of issue 30, first published in 1964. This battered copy was originally owned by photographer Mark I. Chester, and it shows water damage from a fire that destroyed most of Chester's San Francisco studio in the late 1970s. This copy was among the few possessions he was able to salvage from the studio.
