The ZF13 album and catalogue was the first AMG publication wholly devoted to duals or larger groups.
One of the more striking compositions is ZF 6, two men in a wrestling pose, forearms grasped. My records call them Howard Johnson and Leonard Latt; in the THOUSAND MODEL DIRECTORY they are Johnson and Les. A Howard Johnson appears on the same page of the directory as Johnson and Les, here as ZT 778.
What of Leonard, or Les? He appears to be Al Hoover, found in the later YC13 catalogue. The span of time between ZF and ZT, or ZT and YC, is probably a matter of years or even months — but still long enough to give Leonard … or Les … or Al a new name.

ReplyDeleteHandsome men of character and color with beautiful physiques.
Such images depicting black men in a near nude and sensual way would have been in illegal in South Africa at that time, though there was a thriving homofil subculture that lasted from 1910 to 1969. Homofil culture and influence in the arts in South Africa was at its peak from 1945 to 1965.
