Description: A text in four languages (French, French, Italian and English) in the foreword presents the book: " This book will not be sold in bookstores and must remain a private publication and reserved for our friends around the world. We must also stress that models should not be seen as belonging to our sphere. They were chosen only to illustrate the grace of masculine beauty. We believe that, in their diversity, these images contribute to the male body, which, from antiquity to modern times, is constantly being sung by poets.

Cloth binding in good condition, interior pages in very good condition.By 1942 most of the lesbian editorial staff had left and the magazine became exclusively focused on gay male interests; the actor Karl Meier took over as the chief editor in 1942, using the pen name "Rolf", and renamed the magazine Der Kreis (The Circle). In 1942 the magazine's bimonthly circulation was around 200 copies, and by 1957 this had increased to 1,900, including 700 subscribers throughout Europe and the United States. Der Kreis was published in multiple languages: it was originally written in German, but a French section was added in 1942 and an English section in 1954. It contained news, short stories, poems, photographs, illustrations, and reports on scientific research. Although Swiss publications were censored for much of the duration of magazine's publication, the editors of Der Kreis were noted to have evaded censorship of "racier texts" in the English section since the censors were unable to read them. By and large, the magazine contained very little risqué content since Meier wanted to promote "a high-minded vision of homosexuality" that valued friendship over sex. The magazine's leadership began to decline in the 1960s, since younger gay readers were more inclined to buy Scandinavian publications that published pornography and nude photographs, and the last issue was published in 1967. In 1952, the Swiss gay magazine Der Kreis (Le Cercle) celebrated its 20th anniversary. On the occasion of this anniversary, the magazine publishes a selection of 100 photos for its exclusive readers in the form of a book, under the German title of Der Mann in der Photographie.The first 1952 publication was followed by four other volumes:- Der Mann in der Photograph, II, 1942-1954, 1954.- Der Mann in der Photography, III, 1955-1958, 1958.- Der Mann in der Zeichnung, The Male Drawings, 1960. - Der Mann in der Photography, IV, 1959-1961, 1962.Organisierte eine Gruppe Homosexueller zwischen 1948 und 1960 unter dem Namen Der Kreis Klubabende, Maskenbälle, Tanzveranstaltungen, Theaterproduktionen für Gleichgesinnte. / "Between 1948 and 1960, a group of homosexuals organized club evenings, masked balls, dance events, and theater productions for like-minded people under the name The Circle.
