Rod Crowther Day

It's Rod Crowther day, and we start with this unknown 

model who appears in a number of his pictures.

 

Joe Priest

Rod Crowther used a striped curtain for a backdrop in this photo of Joe Priest.

 

Joe Seivold

College lacrosse star Joe Seivold did a memorable photo shoot with Rod Crowther.

He didn't pose frontally nude, alas, but he impresses anyway.

Ken Steele

Ken Steele looks serious perched on that rock.

 

Looking Skyward

The natural light is nice in this shot of an unknown looking skyward.

 

David Allen

David Allen is either getting in or getting out of his tightie whities.

 

Strader

Ending the Rod Crowther series with a model only shown as Strader.

 

Sweden Day

Today we have an all Swedish series, starting with a glacial valley lakeside scene.

Do you think the man in the background is trying to get our attention?

 

Text

My source only said this was from a textbook,

but anatomical or art anatomy seem likely.

 

Fridtjof Nansen

The top photo is a selfie by Swedish explorerer, scientist, and sportsman Fridtjof Nansen.

He sent it age age 67 to a lady he was trying to woo.  Below we see him at about age 30.

 

Shower

I don't have a date for this, but the plumbing looks 1930-40.

 

Fishermen

These three Swedes are demonstrating the best way to fish.

 

Mass swim

This large group of swimmers is a Swedish military unit.

 

1913

Here we see Sweden's combined swimming and water polo national team from 1913.

 

Relaxing

This is how Swedish men relax in the sauna.

 

Polar Bear

This brave polar bear had his picture taken in January 1902

at one of Stockholm's floating bath houses.

 

Horsemen

Closing the Swedish series with a group of cavalrymen I borrowed from Bob's Naked Guys.

Odds and Ends Again

It's time for another round of stray odds and ends. 

This happy group is a 1930s German water polo team.

 

Cleo Scrum

The Australian version of Playgirl, Cleo, published this naked rugby scrum in the 70s.

 

Fujuki Hatori

This is a hand tinted photo of two Japanese dancers by Fujuki Hatori.

 

Bored

I don't know why, but I find this very bored looking guy to be quite attractive.

 

Above the Sea

 

This is supposed to be a European naturist on a naked hike above the sea.

Cooling Off

These guys are cooling off in the outflow from a small dam.

 

Dutch TV

Here's something that actually appeared on Dutch TV in 1972.  

I'd like it better if the violinist had his pants off, too, but whatever.

 

1946

This sailor getting a sunbath in his jockstrap is from 1946.

 

Duo

These two men on a print sofa don't seem to have anything

 to do with each other, at lease so far.

 

Rock

I have no information about the final photo of a man on a rock, but I like it.
