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.
