Bob Mizer Model Index Cards

4

Index cards created by Bob Mizer as a part of his master list of models for his photography studio, American Model Guild (AMG). 

AMG, founded in 1945, was the physique photography studio that Bob Mizer started in order to take and publish homoerotic photos of men. In 1951 Mizer began publishing a beefcake magazine called Physique Pictorial using the photos he was taking. Physique Pictorial was a pioneering publication in the world of gay male erotica and Mizer was a trailblazer.
