Jean Merlier

The lighting in this photo of Jean Merlier is superb.

 

Rene Percigou

Here we have the ruggedly handsome Rene Percigou.

I thought he would have won Mr. France at least once.

 

Thomas Hubert

This is Thomas Hubert whose name is sometimes mistakenly shown as Hubert Thomas.

I know that's true because I've done it myself.

 

Jean Millet

This statuesque character is Jean Millet.

 

Unknown

My source listed this one as unknown, but perhaps one of you clever viewers has a name.

 

Raymond Everlet

This is Raymond Everlet in a classic competition pose.

Andre Drapp

Even though he always has pants on,

it's good to look at Andre Drapp.

 

Pierre Fallaise

Closing the Arax series with Pierre Fallaise and a long sword.

 

Arax of Paris

Charles Kassapian posed for Arax of Paris in 1955.

 

Arax Day

Its Arax of Paris day, and we start with a photo of Paul Wynter, winner of Mr. Universe in 1960 and 1966.  Standing only 5'8" tall and weighing 180 lbs., he was long considered the best proportioned man in competitive bodybuilding.  He also made several Sword and Sandal movies.

 

Hubert Thomas

I have seen this models name given as both Hubert Thomas and Thomas Hubert.

Either way, I find his photos to be quite impressive.

 

Henri Moolenaar

Henri Moolenaar was a prize winning bodybuilder when he pose for Arax.

 

Unknown

The model for this Arax derriere photo is unknown, to me anyway.

 

Jean Merlier

Someone other than me cropped most of the Arax logo from this shot of Jean Merlier.

 

Unknown Duo

Posing strap photos are unusual for Arax, and this unknown duo is even more so.

 

Jean Millet

Jean Millet seems about to stride away in this one.

 

Robert Duranton

Here we see Robert Duranton in a relatively rare Arax outdoor nude.

 

Andre Drapp

I never get tired of looking at Andre Drapp, shown here in his wrestling days.
