Finding familiar chaps in these old photographs is always a delight, here we see strapping young sportsman Bill Duckett again, in another shot from this modelling session with Thomas Eakins, some time between 1887 and 1892.

I’ve featured this photograph of Bill Duckett (and his ‘legs to die for’) once before, though a cropped and tattered print, this time we may see the whole image, untrimmed and unspoilt.

A second, less well-known photograph from this studio shoot by Thomas Eakins, I recognised the model at once. I must agree with a previous commentor on this photograph who added, ‘legs to die for’. Indeed!
