Strongman Day


Our theme for today is early 20th C. strong men.  We start with a pose that appears here and again at the end of the set, plus there's a very similar one midway.  The man is unidentified.

  1. The light/dark contrast nicely highlights his musculature.

  2. Often enough, these pics were sold by the guy, at a performance.
    They'd perform feats of strength, usher out the ladies, then, before the boys and men, perform a nude 'famous statues' show.
    Selling the stag pics after.

  3. This was from a 1930's eyewitness report.

    1. It's true. Some performing strong men sold photos of themselves.

  4. Kabinett-Photo eines robusten und muskulösen Mannes. Haut wie feiner Alabaster oder leuchtendes Porzellan.

  5. This gives "solid as a rock" new meaning, and he looks to be very handsome also.
