Later work


This photo of an unknown bodybuilder was made late in 
Professor Desbonnet's career, which lasted into the early 1950s.

  1. I like the "reverse" lighting where the male is darker than the background. Too bad it's not a frontal. It does have a 50-ish aura.

  2. Le bel homme est John Grimek !
    You should know this :)
    It may be a photo given to Desbonnet as a gift from Grimek, as they both greatly admired each other in the realm of physical culture.

    1. For me, never. He had not an once of humility in him. That is the ultimate turnoff in any man.

  5. I have heard from a very knowledgeable person (Cambria) that this is indeed John Grimek from the 1930s prior to his championships. His relationship with Dr. Desbonnet goes that far back. So my source was wrong about the model being unknown.
