John Tristam on the cover of Physique Pictorial, photographed by Robert Mizer. This is the magazine that caught the author's youthful attention in 1959.

This photo of him, taken in 1880, shows his success. He later operated a “School of Scientific, Physical and Vocal Culture” in New York City. Physique photography was a lucrative business, but making and selling suggestive male nudes was even more profitable. This photo, tinged with a touch of BDSM, became a moneymaker for photographer Russ Warner. Though shot in 1948, the photo continued its reign as a popular image well into the next decade.
