In 1945 Bob Mizer began taking photographs of strapping young men on Muscle Beach in Venice, California. That December, he formed the Athletic Model Guild to market his photos, and "physique photography" was born. These Mizer/ AMG photos were subtly provocative, and discretely aimed at a gay audience.
Now, Peachy Kings, in association with The Bob Mizer Foundation and Culture Edit, have designed a set of beautiful, full color, 5x7 greeting cards — inspired by those same, mid-century, Physique Pictorial magazines. Each card features one of Mizer's iconic images, playfully designed around the style and fashions of the 1950s & 60s. These are suitable for both framing and mailing.
