Steckel Photo Nude Eugen Sandow Bodybuilder image 27: Home & Kitchen. Over the past 35 years this private collection was assembled from copy negatives or original negatives obtained from many state historical societies, National Archives, Library Of Congress, and various private sources. SANDOW, We just found a new group of Sandow photograph's. The most famous bodybuilder in the early days of the sport, indeed perhaps the first modern bodybuilder was Eugen Sandow. Born Friederich Wilhelm Mueller on April 2, 1867. Born in Prussia (now part of Germany), he began his career as a sideshow strongman. Early in life, and with the help of showman Florenz Zigfeld, Sandow decided it wasn't enough to simply demonstrate his strength, but to actually display his muscular physique as though it were a work of art. He soon made his Muscle Displays inch the main feature of his stage show. This photo was printed from a copy negative. A mint condition, 8X10 black and white photograph found in the archives of a private collection. Each photographic print is hand printed from a negative.
