EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Eugen Sandow, the renowned bodybuilder, in a classical ancient Greco-Roman pose circa 1894. The image, taken by George Steckel, showcases Sandow's powerful physique and muscular form as he strikes a commanding pose. Eugen Sandow, originally known as Friedrich Wilhelm Mueller, was a pioneering figure in the world of bodybuilding. Born in Prussia in 1867, he rose to fame as a star performer for Ziegfeld's Follies in the United States. Today, he is hailed as the Father of Bodybuilding. In this photograph, Sandow exudes strength and physical prowess. His chiseled muscles are prominently displayed as he confidently flexes his biceps and strikes an idealized pose reminiscent of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. The image highlights not only Sandow's dedication to physical fitness but also his contribution to shaping the standards of male beauty during the late 19th century. With his moustache neatly groomed and his body meticulously sculpted through exercise and training, Sandow epitomizes perfection. This portrait offers a glimpse into both the artistic representation of masculinity at that time period and Sandow's own remarkable athleticism. It serves as a testament to his enduring legacy within the realm of bodybuilding and remains an iconic depiction of strength and beauty even today.
