This series includes a large selection of male physique photographs from the 1950s and 1960s, which were donated by Paul J. Fasana. Several of these photographs are attributed to Bruce of Los Angeles and Lon of New York. However, the prints do not bear the name of the photographer due to censorship laws that were in effect at the time the prints were made. This series also includes several mail-order photographs from Target Studios, which are probably from the 1970s.</p></div></li></ul>\n", "type"=>"arrangement"}
