Olympic Photos by Paul Richer - Part 7

 Olympic Photos by Paul Richer, Part 7

We continue our series of nude photographs by Paul Richer of athletes in the 1900 Paris Olympics.  Richer was on an official Olympic commission to study the athletes.  Richer was responsible for taking nude anthropomorphic photos of the athletes, and since it was an official commission, almost all the athletes who were asked to participate did so.

We start with French cyclist Edmond Jacquelin, above.

Here are Paul Richer's photos of Jacquelin, front view ...

Disclosure: I have removed yellowing from Richer's photos and brightened them.

This is Swedish track and field athlete Eric Lemming posing with medals and trophies that he won.  He competed in multiple Olympic events in the 1900, 1908 and 1912 Olympics, including jumps and pole vault.  He won a gold medal in the javelin throw in 1908 and 1912.

I got this picture from Vintage Muscle Men.  Thanks, Jerry!
