Side view

This side view from an anatomical textbook shows the muscles

 fairly well despite the low techincal resolution.

 

Londe-Richer

I recently found this complete version of a plate, several individual images of which I had found 

and posted separately earlier.  At least three are "new," and I think they look good together.  

They are the collaborative work of Albert Londe and Paul Richer.

 

Measure II

By comparing the baseboard and wall features, I've determined that this photo was made 

in the same room as a similar one posted in today's series.

 

Mapped

The diagrams added to this photo remind me of an illustration we had on the ranch 

where I grew up that showed the various cuts of beef one could get from a steer.

 

Czech II

This is from the same source as the previously described Czech I.

 

Norm Man

I'm ending the anatomical series with Normman, aka Norm Man, a 1943 sculptural portrayal of what the average Caucasian male would be.  Based on measurements and photos of about 8,500 men, Norm was done by artist Abram Belskie with the assistance of physician Robert Dickinson.  They also did a female version called Norma, but I don't think most of you would want to see her.

Harold Zinkin

As far as I know, Harold Zinkin never posed nude,

so this Al Urban trunks shot will have to do.

 

Kenneth Pendleton

Kenneth Pendleton was small for a bodybuilder at 5'1",

but he had quite a career and reputation:

Al Urban produced at least six great photos of Mr. Pendleton.

 

Jules Bacon

This cover is interesting for several reasons.  First, Jules Bacon autographed it at least two years 

after its publication in 1941 because he wasn't Mr. America until 1943.  The other guy looks 

a bit like Steve Reeves, but he has been identified as Constantine Kosiris.  And although 

there is a very similar full nude photo, I have not been able to find an exact nude match,

 leading me to think that the trunks were probably not drawn on as was often 

the case with other Al Urban covers.

 

Charles Whitlock

Al Urban posed Charles Whitlock dramatically with a dagger for this one.

 

George Kuchler

I posted this photo of George Kuchler about five years ago as an unknown,

but I have since learned the identity of the impressive model.

 

Doug Hepburn

Canadian weighlifting champion Doug Hepburn had 

some competition photos done by Mr. Urban.

 

Fred Degroot

That's Fred Degroot at right, and his friend is unknown.

Half Dressed Day

Today is half dressed day, and we start with this interesting item I snagged during the sack of tumblr.

 

GIs

I don't have a location for this group of GIs on the beach, but it is World War II.

 

Swimmers

Mr. Scumbeast gave me this one and commented that the guy in the middle 

was making sure everything was still there after the swim.

 

Recruits

I believe these are Asian military recruits lined up for some sort of inspection.

Egypt

My source says these are Australians in Egypt in 1916.

 

Camper

This is apparently a candid shot of a camper outside his puptent.

 

Korea

Michael Rougier took this in Korea in 1951.

 

Patterned boxers

I can't tell if this guy is getting into or our of his patterned boxers.

 

Fire hose bath

Ending the series with a World War I photo by John Trevor Peat where one fellow 

with a fire hose is giving two others a bath.  I think the location was the Middle East.
