Introducing Ray Huggins

Ray Huggins by Hussar

  To complement the publication of the IRESC, Scout Recruitment set at the Gallery, I have started publishing solo shots of one of its stars, the very beefy, Ray Huggins. 

The IRESC images came with no identifying information, no cast list, no storyline, not even a proper title. There seems to have been no contemporary advertising to even help in dating it. Consequently, discovering the identity of one of the models has been one of my more satisfying investigations. 

I worked on the hunch that IRESC followed Royale's normal practice of using the model's initials plus a more descriptive abbreviation - as in FJWR for example, short for 'Fred and John Wrestling'. With the 'SC' in IRESC looking like an abbreviation for Scout, that left I, R and E as possibly the model's initials. 

To my delight, I quickly found Ray Huggins under 'R' in my models list. His face is not his greatest asset, but it's unmistakeable. 'I' and 'E' remain more elusive to date, but tracking down Ray's solo images in the old, beefcake press has given me a clue to when the others may have gone before the camera too. Watch this space!

New Update - Brian Morris posing for Scott

Brian Morris in Pouch and Boots (for Scott)

 

After I thought I had finished posting the Brian Morris cowboy shoot for Scott of London, I discovered some more catalogue information in my archive, which has enabled me to add two more images (thumbnail standard) and identify the sets he marketed.

The post about the photos of Brian Morris posing for Royale Studio and Hussar 

has now been completed at the Gallery. 

 

It spans the transition period between Royale and Hussar at a time 

when gay freedoms were beginning to strengthen on both sides of the Atlantic.
