‘Physique’ brings together over 250 rare vintage prints from the personal collection of renowned writer and curator Vince Aletti. Taken between the 1930s and early 1960s, these powerful images capture a hidden world of homoerotic photography, once quietly sold through mail-order catalogs and underground magazines.

Aletti’s thoughtful essay gives context to this history, showing how these photos were more than just beautiful—they were a lifeline. At a time when queer lives were pushed into the shadows, these pictures offered connection, comfort, and quiet strength.

A moving tribute to the photographers, models, and studios who shaped a bold and secret chapter of American gay culture.

This Naughty Edition features an alternative, distinctly erotic cover image.
