BRUCE OF LOS ANGELES ARCHIVE: MALE PHYSIQUE
Bruce Bellas (1909-1974), aka Bruce of Los Angeles.
American.
Gelatin silver print on resin-coated paper.
Gelatin silver print from the archives of Bruce Bellas. Reference: This photo appears in the book "Bruce of Los Angeles," edited by Jim Dolinsky and published by Bruno Gmunder (the German publishing house/retailer of gay erotica now known as Bruno's). Images of those pages are included in this listing.
Photos from the archives of Bruce Bellas were held in storage for years with minimal handling, and overall condition reflects that. We would consider them all to be in very good to good condition. Condition issues we noted, primarily among prints on fiber-based paper, were minor edge wear and corner bends, and some with some undulation to the paper. Please refer to the detail photos.
