It has been a while since I last showed a moving image on these pages (those seen thus far may all be seen together here), this makes a great addition to my collected still photographs of Sandow.
Artistically photographed by George Steckel in 1894, with great clarity and perfect lighting : one of the most flattering shots of the famed Eugen Sandow.
The magnificent Eugen Sandow, photographed here in 1894 by George Steckel, his physique looking every bit as impressive to a modern eye as it would have to his contemporaries.
A young Eugen Sandow, photographed here in the late 1880s, after leaving Prussia to embark on his early career as a circus strongman. As befitting someone whose body would become his business, he reveals almost all to show those superbly defined flexed muscles for the admiration of his audience.
