AMG Quarterly Set

Been catching up on my quarterly classic physique photographer series lately, and today

 it's AMG's turn.  We start the show with a bearded Robert Hathaway.

 

Bob Pistol

I have to thank my friend and frequent commentator Pat for this great picture of Bob Pistol.

 

Jack Stanford

This is Jack Stanford working out on a wrought iron piece of furniture.

 

Ken and Jim

These two are Ken Shreves and Jim Alvey.

 

Ed Miller

The mountain is fake, the snow is fake, and the tree is sort of fake, probably having 

been picked up on the cheap from the leftovers at a Los Angeles Christmas tree lot.  

Ed Miller, however, is the real deal.

 

Ray and Hank

Here we see Ray Loop and Hank Bunkers having fun in a bathtub.

 

Brian Argus

The clutter is cowboy themed in this reclining shot of Brian Argus.

 

Dick Fried

I borrowed this great photo of Dick Fried from the bushnstache blog,

which you can visit at:  https://bushnstache.blogspot.com/

Thanks a million, bns!

Tom and Joe

It's hard to get through a full AMG set without a trip to the infamous shower,

so we close with Tom Short and Joe Napoli.

 

Galerie au Bonheur

I recently noticed that Galeria au Bonheur de Jour of Paris had placed a group 

of interesting "new" photos in their online sales website.  So I'm posting ten 

of them today, starting with La Tendress by Cadinot from 1975.

 

Naples 1950

The gallery had only a location and date, Naples 1950, for this charming item.

 

Advert

I wonder if the model for this 1910 Electogene Generator advert was a pupil of Professor Desbonnet?  Hard to imagine beefcake advertising in 1910, then it was Paris after all.

 

Michel Belloucy

And speaking of beefcake, they're selling this Jean Ferrero

 photo of Miche Belloucy that I had never seen before.

 

Joseph Caprio

This undated photo by Joseph Caprio is my favorite of the day.

 

Claude Alexander

This was photographed by Claude Alexander in 1980.

 

Sportsmen

They called this one Sportsmen at the Bar.

 

Czanara

Capri Fisherman 1885

This beautiful portrait of a Capri Fisherman was taken by Von Pluschow in 1885.

 

Marconi

I posted this final photo by Marconi from about 1875 six years ago.  Galerie au Bonheur 

put this cleaner copy up for sale, and it was bought very quickly.  Easy to see why.

 

Centerfold Day

Chuck Betz, aka Chuck Dietz, is giving us a welcoming look to start off centerfold day.

The photo is by R.A. Enterprise, but I don't have a magazine title.

 

Unknown

I have neither a model's nor a photographer's name for this one, but I like it.

 

Western Photography Guild Ad

I don't think I've ever seen a centerfold that was also an ad, but here we have one.

That's Carter Lovisone (at right) with Bill Neal, and the photographer

was the immortal Don Whitman of Western Photography Guild.

Probably the most artistic image of the day.

Galaxie

This is from a short lived 1967 publication called Galaxie, model and photographer unknown.

 

Buck Kelly

This is Buck Kelly by J. Brian/Calafran Studio.

 

Wyngate & Bevins

I think this is from a Wyngate & Bevins publication,

the photography for which may have been by AMG.

 

Al Parker

Al Parker appears here in a bifold piece from Advocate Men.

 

Honcho

My source  had no names for these Honcho men from February 1980.

The text does name the photographer as Malcolm Hoare.

 

Mandate

Our Mandate centerfold is Jason MacBride as photographed by John Gamble.

 

Fred Wiggins

Enlarge this one if you can.  The text is priceless, and the model is Fred Wiggins.
