Olympic Photos by Paul Richer, part 9
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 tennis player André Prévost. He won a bronze medal in men's doubles.

Disclosure: I have removed yellowing from Richer's photos and brightened them.
This is French athlete Frantz Reichel. He was on the French Olympic rugby team that won a gold medal.

I really love the fact that this was so many years ago. Regardless of what was a claimed reason for taking these pictures, I can't help but think that he really loved this. I appreciate his doing this, and for the athletes who posed for these pictures.
These are great.
Thaddäus Robl was a eye candy, and André Prévost is the second in my line!🥇
