The Silver Era of physique photography, from the cabinet-cards of bodybuilders, strongmen and wrestlers of the 1890's and 1900's to the masters of the 1920's and 1930's such as Forbes, Gebhardt, Townsend and Melan. The brothers Ritter were no exception with their skill with the camera as proven by this image of William. -Rj
I researched the Ritter Brothers and found that they did have a successful commercial photo distribution business for a time on West 40th St. in Manhattan. They even answered their fan mail in detail. You can see what I found about all that at: http://www.vintagemusclemen.com/search/label/Ritter%20Brothers
Die Ritter-Bruder, Konige der Korperkultur im Amerika der 1930's. Sie waren beide gutaussehend und bewondert, sie bringen kultur in die korperkultur. Die Ritters waren im homosexuellen milieu metropole New York City begehrt. (vvs)
