Louis Cyr the Strongest Man on Earth that has Beaten all the Records
Sepia photograph pasted on cardboard of a standing shirtless man wearing a necklace, a circus costume consisting of breeches, light-colored tights and shoes. On his right arm, he holds a very large alter. The photo was taken in a studio, depicting a bourgeois interior with staircase, vase and banister. You can see the support on which the man is leaning. Louis Cyr’s stamp in blue and the photographer’s in mauve appear on the cardboard below.
