Professor Desbonnet

Let's make another trip to Professor Edmond Desbonnet's gyms in Paris.  He had a whole chain of them, and I'm guessing this is one of the bigger ones.  If you look closely, you can see the mustachioed professor with a student at the bottom of the drawing.

Clipping

This is a clipping from one of the numerous publications in which 

Edmond Desbonnet published photos.  The model is, alas, unknown.

 

Standout

One element really stands out in this slightly blurry photo,

and I wonder if it was the reason it was taken.

 

Outlier

When it comes to Desbonnet photos, one does not exactly expect this rather romantic style.

 

Showtime

I don't know if the men in this stage show were students of Desbonnet,

but the photo is in his archive, so there's likely a link.

 

Acrobat

Here we get a bit of acrobatics.

 

Lighting

I don't know if the lighting here was intentional to accentuate certain elements, or not.

What I do know is that we can hardly see the model's head at all.

 

Pleasant

I find this fellow quite pleasant to look at.

 

John Grimek

Our closing photo of John Grimek was in Prof. Desbonnet's personal collection and is believed 

to have been taken by him.  The two knew and respected each other.
