homobilia: art and memorabilia of the queer past

Looking to the queer past with an eye on photos, magazines, postcards: anything that speaks to us. We're interested in physique photography, gay pulps, vintage erotica, snapshots, and ephemera. Some items are available for purchase.

John Grimek photos

Sold recently on eBay for a whopping $480, this early photo of body-building legend John Grimek dates from around 1935 (based on the Strength and Health magazine cover photo) when he was in his mid-20s.

It inspired me to go on a search of more early Grimek photos and here are the best images I found.
