Jack Deal and Frank Affrunti Photographed by Lon

These grainy photographs likely enlarged from a catalog featuring Jack Deal posing with Frank Affrunti may be the only existent images from the series.

As Reed Massengill relates in his book, The Male Ideal: Lon of New York and the Masculine Physique, the bulk of Lon's negatives and photographs were either sold off to collectors (often with none of the proceeds going to Lon) or destroyed by law-enforcement officials in the years when photographing nude adults was illegal in the United States.
