Vintage Wrestling Team
Another addition to the collection arrived this morning. These rather handsome chaps look to be part of a wrestling team. I think it is from the 1960s, perhaps early 70s but the hairstyles are a little difficult to decode.

I'd say late 60s -- they look like everyone I went to high school with. Sigh.
I believe it is from 1973, 1974, or 1975. These are the hairstyles young males wore before the disco era. By 1976 and certainly 1977 young men were apt to wear their hair parted down the center of the head or in an afro permed style.
I am a bookcollector, bookdealer, publisher and writer living in Portsmouth on the South Coast of the UK.
This blog is my personal space for the recording of my numerous interests including science-fiction, victorian and vintage photography, gay literature, book design, typography, homoerotic artwork, the Amazon river, the books of Frederick Rolfe (Baron Corvo), Forrest Reid, sundry gay Victorian and Edwardian characters, Slash Fiction, Samuel R Delany, Vintage swimwear, Willard Price, Venice, and so on...
Alongside all of that you also get a personal journal of life and memoir and the self-therapy you have come to know and love from bloggers.
