It's 1:00 AM and time for me to go to bed. One last post -- another Vince shot, from the cover of "Health and Strength" for January 22, 1953 and featuring rugged Eddie Blackwell.

Here's a young beauty who, if not specifically English, is from Great Britain (Wales, to be exact). These two shots came from my buddy Jim's Yahoo e-mail group British Gay Photographers -- a great bunch of guys who share photos from yesterday and today that expose the fascinating world of British physique photography. The man behind Vince Studio was Bill Green.

As Jim wrote back in 2003, "Bill Green, alias Vince, was the nearest we had to a "classic" physique photographer. In his studio in Manchester Street, London W1, he created little masterpieces of lighting and composition. He contributed a lot to the "legit" bodybuilding mags - but there was also a more subtly erotic side to his work, as we'll see. Nothing daring, but it's there all the same."

I greatly admire Vince's work and look forward to sharing more of it in the future.

Allen Mathew by unknown

A stunning fellow I found in my British physique folder. Sadly no artist is attributed (he may not even be British) -- heck, it might not even be vintage, but isn't he nice to look at? :-)
