[128] pp. 1952 w/ Lester Piggott on cover by Hynes 7 3/4" x 5 1/4 "Men Only: August 1952" refers to the August 1952 issue of the British men's magazine Men Only, which featured pin-up art by David Wright, including a "red-haired woman in frilled sun hat and spotted bikini" that has been made available as prints and jigsaw puzzles. The issue, a softcover publication, contained articles, illustrations, and period advertisements catering to a male audience, with one variant featuring a cover illustration of Dean Acheson. In addition to the magazine itself, the date also aligns with several historical events in 1952, such as the abdication of King Talal of Jordan, the execution of Soviet Jewish poets, and Japan and West Germany joining the IMF and World Bank. The Lynmouth flood disaster also occurred on August 15, 1952.
