Jointly founded by Professor Edmond Desbonnet and author/publisher Albert Surier, La Culture Physique was published from 1904 to 1967. Today we will look at some photos and pages from the first five years of its history, beginning with a cover featuring the great Eugen Sandow. We will see Mr. Sandow again later in today's set. LCP never showed full frontal nudity, but they did show derriere shots regularly. Their latter years were not nearly as open as the early in terms of nudity.
I remember his being portrayed in The Great Ziegfeld (1936). That’s how I first heard of him.
