We start the show with a drop dead handsome and well built rower.

    1. And that's a close to a full on frontal nude as he ever seems to have gone. Mr. Leyendecker studied in Paris for a time, so I keep hoping sone academic nudes show up, but nothing so far.

  2. Wow. I suspect many young men of the time rather liked this.

    1. Yes, and many more men of any age seem to like this in modern times.

  3. It's fascinating to see his left sleeve very obviously pushed back as though to dare you with the nipple.

    1. Some, but not all. There was at least one actor who posed for him as well as others.
