PHYSIQUE PICTORIAL: Post 1: Some Favorite covers: 1, 2 by Tom of Finland, 3 by Art Bob, 4 (Fall '57) by Quaintance.

I love old Physique Pictorial magazines, and I try to collect as many originals as I can. The magazine championed many great gay artists like Tom of Finland, Quaintance and Art Bob, as well as physique photography and gay erotica. As well as famous body builders or actors, they paid a lot of guys off the street to pose in posing pouches, and later on, fully naked. These magazines are like little time machines, and really tell us a lot about the gay community at the time.
