Ernest Cadine

Prof. Desbonnet took several photos of French champion weightlifter Ernest Cadine, two of which are frontal nudes.  I've already posted one and will get the other into the next Desbonnet set.
I think they were trying to impress us with all those heavy weights.

  1. True it's a side shot, and a great one, but we can also see his peonies... (sorry...)

  3. Can't wait to see the frontals! What a gorgeous body. But I don't like the lighting much. Is that due to the age of the shot?

  5. Incredible body, could have done without the screen though. A body like his needs no distractions.

    1. Desbonnet was all over the place with his backgrounds. I'd love to see a chronological span to see if they evolved in a certain direction.
