Beautiful Specimen


I was quite surprised to find that this 1902 photo is by Jacques Lalaing.  His photos were usually low to medium quality shots used as studies for his sculptures, but this piece can stand on its own as a work of art.  And speaking of works of art, how about that beautiful specimen of a male model?

  2. Oui, bel spécimen !
    The photos of Lalaing inspired strongman and physique photographers in Europe, he may have had the same influence in America.
