Group with the Professor


This photo shows Prof. Eakins with J. Laurie Wallace (right) and an unknown.
I find the unknown fellow quite impressive.

  1. It's admirable that Eakins stripped for the camera, IMHO. Was that a common practice for photographers of naked men? Big Dude

    1. Not that I know of, at least in that era. In the classic era of physiquie photography (1935-65) a few nude models such as Troy Saxon, Bob Delmonteque, and Russ Warner took up photography. I have seen believable accounts that Mr. Warner would strip on occasion to make his models comfortable posing nude.

    2. Given the time, I found him very empathetic.
