Louis cyr photo album


Sybersnott

Recommended Posts

I stumbled across this site, and got a real kick out of it.  :)

It's a photo album of Louis Cyr, and some other strength greats, like Hector De Carie (his partner and friend), Horace Barre, Sandow, Sampson, Cyclops - and pics of some boxers like John D. Sullivan, Gus Lambert and James Corbett.  There are also pics of circus "sideshow" attractions, and some posters advertising Cyr and his strength act.  Enjoy!

(Side note:  the descriptions are in French - but you don't need translation to understand these pics!)

great link snott.  i'm always interested in the oldtimers, and many times good quality pics are hard to come by.  the ones on this site are very good quality, and the feats are very impressive.
