Seven 5" x 7" Photograph Prints of a Nude Male Model in a Time-Lapse Series from the Mid-20th-Century "Beefcake" Era of Photography

Photographic Image. Very Good. No Binding. Collection of seven photograph prints of an unknown male model in a time-lapse series of poses of the movements in throwing a ball in front of a white background. Taken by an unknown photographer, likely during the mid-century beefcake era of photography. In the 1950s-70s, there was a rise in published homoerotic photographs, which became pioneer visualizations of suppressed gay desire. For many of these mid-century male physique photographers, a way of loopholing pornography allegations was to use specific poses in order to claim their photography for students to study human anatomy rather than for pornographic purposes, which is likely what is being displayed in this series of images. Aside from curling at the edges, these photos are in very good condition. .
