Upside down


That all over tan was probably natural because Tony Sansone was known to frequent a bath  house at Coney Island that had a rooftop nude men's sun deck.  I think this may have been taken there.

  1. My sources say that Tony Sansone did this handstand pose for sculptor Chester Beach (1881-1956), who was sculpting a piece called "Sun, Mist and Sea". I did a web search for this work, but couldn't find a picture of it. This photo is by Achille Volpi, sometime before 1930.

    1. Mr. Sansone was known to have posed for sculptors, so that makes sense.
