Vintage 1950s Male Original Nude Photo of Brothers Playing Records
By Bruce of Los Angeles
Located in Palm Springs, CA
A rare original b & w photograph of 2 brothers listening to records on the floor nude. Many decades ago we saw a second image from this series and it was listed as the models were brothers. Listening to Les Baxter and Dinah Washington albums! Mid 1950s. I believe the photo to be an “Athletic Model Guild” photo, a competitor of the equally famous, Bruce Bellas aka Bruce of Los Angeles.
The 8x10 photograph has a 11x14 white acid free matt. Ready for framing. If you would like this framed for a gift, we can frame it in a simple black frame for $100. Without a frame, it is easy to be shipped UPS. Makes a great gift for collectors of Male Nude and Beefcake Physique photography. These high quality originals are very difficult to come by. They are NOT computer generated...
