Rare photo by Art-Bob of model Rick Van posing on a small rug, on linen textured heavyweight paper c. 1950s. 4 1/2" x 3 1/2" with number 1-20 written in pencil on verso. Art-Bob's Catalogue No. 1, (provided here for information only) shows a different photo as number 20 so this may come from a later catalog. "This series is an exclusive first run on Rick Van, an inspiring subject for the particular artist and sculptor." Art-Bob was known primarily as an illustrator whose artwork was published in Athletic Model Guild's Physique Pictorial throughout the 1950s. In very good condition.
