Photographers feared police confiscation, harassment, and worse. This volume uncovers the work of ten different photographers produced during this suppressive period-images hidden away for a generation in private collections and closed archives.

But their styles vary greatly: gleaming muscle gods shot for physique magazines, sun-dappled young men captured in the woods, and artful high-glamour studio portraits. Restoring a lost chapter to the history of photography, Uncovered presents more than one hundred images that are sure to find appreciation among a new generation. Including work by these photographers: Antonio Arabia, John Shreeve, Barrington Earle Forbes, Robert Galster, Frederick Kovert, Plato, George Platt Lynes, Al Urban, Vulcan, and Don Whitman."
