Unknown Model Photographed by John Arnt

John Arnt took this photograph of this massive, unknown model.

It is the photographer's use of a single light source and repetition of the sword and this location that have enabled me to identify this image as his.

John worked in Seattle, Washington and is best known for his sepia-toned printing.

I believe he took all of his physique photographs in the 1940's.

That photograph is on the cover of J. Phillip Elwes' book, Anything But Everything, a collection of gay erotic stories available on Amazon.
