Don Whitman's Western Photography Guild
Photographer 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 deep, clear sky of the American West played as much of a starring role in Don Whitman's photographs as did his male models. One could almost hear the music of Aaron Copland swelling in the background as the hunky giants wrestled and danced along the ridges of the Rockies.
Condition
The 8-by-10-inch vintage photograph is expertly printed on heavy stock and is in very good condition. Quality and clarity are exceptional.
The "BigKugels" watermark in the scan displayed here does not appear on the actual auction item.
