Vintage Photograph
Don Whitman, Western Photography Guild
1940s or 1950s.
5" x 4", Double Weight, Matte Stock
This handsome beefcake photo by photographer Don WHITMAN, was shot in the late 1940s or early '50s, and printed by Whitman in the 1960s. It is stamped "Western Photography Guild", and numbered "49-11". It features the handsome bodybuilder Billy Joe CARR in a pose highlighting his muscular body.
The dramatically-lit indoor setting is less common for Whitman's photographs, yet it has the same strong quality, clarity and lighting as his outdoor work. Don Whitman's Western Photography Guild images are some of the most photographically beautiful and collectible nude male images of the mid-20th Century.
The 4x5-inch photo is expertly printed on heavy matte stock. The photo is in excellent condition.
