Hi Lauren - A book was published on this topic earlier this year: http://cup.columbia.edu/book/buying-gay/9780231189101 [https://cup-us.imgix.net/covers/9780231189101.jpg?auto=format&w=350]<http://cup.columbia.edu/book/buying-gay/9780231189101> Buying Gay | Columbia University Press<http://cup.columbia.edu/book/buying-gay/9780231189101> In 1951, a new type of publication appeared on newsstands—the physique magazine produced by and for gay men. For many men growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, these magazines and their images and illustrations of nearly naked men, as well as articles, letters from readers, and advertisements, served as an initiation into gay culture. cup.columbia.edu -Rebecca Friedman ________________________________ From: ARLIS/NA List <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Lauren Gottlieb-Miller <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2019 4:26 PM To: [log in to unmask] <[log in to unmask]> Subject: [ARLIS-L] Vintage Muscle Magazines Dear all, I am working with a conservator who is looking for several vintage “muscle magazines” from the mid-20th century (for professional, not personal use). In particular the title “Formosus”. Can anyone recommend a repository that has these? Can anyone recommend a dealer/vendor who sells them?
