Mount Mizer revisited

The ZF variety dual album and catalogue was scheduled for release in May 1949, the earliest date I can readily access for the Athletic Model Guild’s publishing program. Thereafter, up through late 1951, one can cobble together a timeline for AMG releases in the ZA-ZZ series. 


I had thought ZP and ZQ were the earliest instances of “Mount Mizer” appearing as a modeling setting, but a review of my own photo albums sets me straight: Forrester Millard is shown in his own ZB catalogue



as is Gene Eberle in the ZD catalogue.



John Winship, whose ZH album and catalogue was to be published in July 1949, was also photographed on Mount Mizer.

  2. Ja, Sie haben eine schöne Auswahl an Körperbauporträts.
    Ich bewundere Mizers frühe Fotoarbeiten, sie sind so künstlerisch.
    (das Foto von Winship ist herausragend)
