Olympic Photos by Paul Richer - Part 11

Olympic Photos by Paul Richer, part 11

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 Italian cyclist Giuseppe Singrossi, above.

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

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

This is Swedish athlete Gustaf Söderström.  He competed in shot put and discus throw, and he was on the Swedish tug-of-war team that won a gold medal.

Swedish athlete Karl Gustaf Staaf, shown standing at left above, competed in multiple sports: pole vault, triple jump, discus throw, and hammer throw, and he was on the Swedish tug-of-war team that won a gold medal.

I could not find any photos of Italian runner Francesco Stobbione aside from Richer's nude photos, so I have substituted a photo of other runners in the 1500 meter race in the Paris Olympics, in which Stobbione competed.
