Includes a double page spread illustrated by Tom of Finland, a double page spread illustrated by Spartacus, and the back cover illustrated by Harry Granite. Physique Pictorial, published by Bob Mizer's Athletic Model Guild (AMG) was th…e first all-male and all-nude magazine in the United States.

Interestingly, the magazine editors are well aware of the controversial nature of the magazine's content, and a number of articles relate to being the sensitivities of the material and the need for discretion in storing one's pictorial collection. As well as homoerotic photography Physique pictorial features black and white drawings by Spartacus, Art Bob, Bill McLane, Tristrano, Ted Kenton and numerous illustrations by the legendary Tom of Finland. Physique Pictorial ran from 1951 - 1990, during which social attitudes homosexuality, male sexuality and the depiction of the male nude saw rapid and distinct change. In this extensive run, spanning four decades, images of masculinity range from being veiled in a healthy lifestyle outdoors in the 50s where full nudity was illegal through to explicit depiction of gay subcultures such as S&M, bondage and leather fetishism of later decades and into a period where the impact of AIDS was being felt with particular brutality in the gay community. As such, a collection such as this is a valuable record of gender studies and evolving social attitudes towards homosexuality. Upon the death of Mizer a vast quantity of negatives, films and vintage publications were discovered in the Mizer estate, leading to a re-evaluation of the photographer as a defining cultural figure in documenting the queer community.
