John Arnt of Seattle
These richly sepia-toned prints are from John Arnt's Gallery of Magnificence. Arnt was an early contemporary of Douglas of Detroit, Lon of New York and Quaintance. These unstamped large-format photographs are beautifully printed in rich sepia tones. Quality and clarity of photos are excellent. We have several more photos from this series, including several of Arnt's most popular model John Curtis who is featured with a totem pole in our "Miscellaneous Beefcake" header above!

Milo of Los Angeles
The work of Southern California photographer MILO, a successful photographer in his own right, is often mistaken for that of his West Coast neighbors Dave Martin and Bruce of LA because of the lighting, quality and often the models these photographers shared. His handsome beefcake photos date from the 1950s and early '60s and usually bare his "Milo of Los Angeles" stamp on verso. If interested, address inquiries to theguys@bigkugels.com.
