Roy Dean - Virile Image of America


I recently came across some photos from a Roy Dean publication called
"Virile Image of America."  Unfortunately, only ten images were
shown, so I'm posting all I have today, starting with the cover.
Just so you know, these are selling for around $200 online.

 

Waterfall


Roy Dean had a knack for getting the most from models in natural settings.

 

Folded arms


I've discovered that several of my viewers like men 
with their arms folded, so this may get their interest.

 

Looking for someone


Is he looking for someone?

 

Smile


I love the big smile we get from this handsome model.

 

Deep in thought


I call this one "Deep in Thought."

 

Big Hands


Here we have a guy with big hands.

 

Familiar Model


This model appeared in a number of Roy Dean's publications, 
but I've unfortunately never seen a name for him.



 

Odd Layout


I don't really understand the odd page layout (or is it cropping?) in this photo.
The male lying on a brick patio floor, however, is quite easy to grasp.





 

G-Rated


Even when he went G-rated, Roy Dean managed to convey raw masculinity.

 

Hairy Model


While I find our final model's facial expression a bit puzzling, I won't 
complain about the overall impact of the photo.  Hairy works for me.

John Barrington


The gold lame sash can't take anything away from Beresford Morris
in what has to be one of John Barrington's better technical efforts.

 

Bruce of Los Angeles

This is Tony Orlando (no not the singer) by Bruce of LA.
Tony's brother Fred has appeared here on the blog in the past.

 

Douglas of Detroit


Many thanks to Bryan B for providing this photo of John Bidek by Douglas of Detroit.

 

Kovert of Hollywood

These two unknowns were photographed by Kovert of Hollwood.

 

Lon of New York


Lon of New York used his favorite prop in this shot of Vince Taffaro.

 

Dave Martin


Randy Saunders gives us a big smile in this Dave Martin photo.

Medical Exam Day


It's medical exam day, and most of these photos will be military.  We start 
with a doctor who appears to be looking right at an inductee's crotch.

 

VD Check


These World War I soldiers are in the midst of a VD check.  I have some photos 
of the treatments used for those who failed, but they are too gruesome to post.

 

Chubby Doc I


I have to say I envy the fellow being examined by this chubby doctor.  I'd let him feel me up any day.  I am not, however, fond of those army cots.  My family got one from War Surplus, and I had to sometimes sleep on it when relatives visited.  I'm sure there were less painful Medieval torture devices.

 

Tumblr Fave


This photo of World War II German recruits was a viewer favorite on my old tumblr nine years ago.

 

Tape Measure


The doctor is using a tape measure around this fellow's chest,
and I have to wonder if he moved on to that bubble butt.

 

Recruits or sports team?


I'm not sure if these men were military recruits or a sports team.

 

Tourist?


Dee Exx provided this intriguing photo.  It looks more like a medical procedure 
than a spa treatment, but the blanket says "Tourist Department."

 

Chubby Doc II


Although most of you will not be looking at him,
I just had to post a second shot of the chubby doctor.

 

Repeat


This is a repeat post from over six years ago, and it is one of my favorites of the type.
It is definitely from World War I, but I'm not certain of the nationality.  Austrian?

 

Sweden


Although strictly neutral until very recently, the Swedes (much like the Swiss) have always maintained a competent military.  Conscription has been part of the formula for much of Sweden's history, and the photo above is said to be a medical exam from a class of 1940s conscripts.
