A light-hearted celebration of the male physique at its best, this entertaining volume features sporty and wholesome specimens championing the ideal male figure. Beefcake includes photos selected from private collections of rare male pinups from the 1940s to pre-disco, but it also showcases images and layouts from physique magazines with titles like Muscle, Adonis, International Nudist Sun, Tomorrow's Man, and Buck and Champ. Many of the photos featured are previously unseen-and highly collectible-works from the hugely influential photographer Bruce of Los Angeles, Kovert of Hollywood, Western Photography Guild, Don Whitman, and Kris Studio, as well as from the edgy and previously unpublished D. R. Parker and the covert Karoll of Havana. Arranged thematically with chapters such as Peak of Perfection, Swords and Sandals, Dare Devils, Locker Room, Demi Gods, Lonely Sailor, Rugged and Rough, and Gladiator, and celebrating the mid-century graphic design of the magazine covers and interiors, Beefcake is a fun and witty tribute to male physique photography.

Very much photos inside. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by H***I on 24 July 2015* Very good book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Intro to Vintage Physique Photography You'll Find *by J***S on 8 November 2016* I've began collecting reproductions of male erotica and physique photography re-issued as these kinds of coffee-table art books for the last few years and recently ordered "Beefcake" to add to the collection. It's one of the better examples of this genre and trend. The material qualities of books of this type vary considerably in terms of the paper on which images are printed, the crispness and clarity of the pictures, the layout of the pictures, e.g. whether you get many full-page pictures or several reproduced on the same page, the bindings and other aspects of the books (hard-cover vs. paperback), and much else. "Beefcake" gets high marks on all these points. It's the kind of well-made book on high quality paper that will last a lifetime and beyond if properly handled. The pictures chosen by the editor are among the better examples of physique photography I've come across. The layouts, mostly full-page images, due justice to the beauty of the models and the aesthetic vision of the photographers. "Beefcake" is an especially good introduction to vintage physique photography to newcomers to the genre or anyone that might want just one good book of this type. It reproduces work from among the best-know photographers such as Lon of New York and Bruce of Los Angles, but also less-know ones like Karoll of Havana. Similarly, there are models like Larry Scott who were champion body-builders when they posed for images here as well as any number of young men whose virility and beauty would be lost to history had it not been captured in these pictures. "Beefcake" also introduces readers to the variations within the genre of physique photography from the classicism of its early decades (my particular favorite) to the pop-culture inspired sexy kitch of the 1970s. The editor's introduction to the photographers and these sub-genres, and the historical evolution that produced them, is likewise interesting and informative. This is an excellent example of this trend of reviving an art-form that was nearly destroyed by legal persecution and reactionary social values, and a great introduction to it for those who might want to check it out for the first time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/60519663-beefcake-100-rare-all-natural](https://www.desertcart.at/products/60519663-beefcake-100-rare-all-natural) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
