Eugene Sandow - The Modern Hercules - Thomas Edison Kinetoscope Companies - {1894}

This is one of the earliest films of Eugene Sandow who was known then as The Modern Hercules.
Eugen Sandow - born Friedrich Wilhelm Müller - on the 2nd of April 1867 and passed on the 14th of October 1925 was a German bodybuilder and showman from Prussia.

Born in Königsberg, Sandow became interested in bodybuilding at the age of ten during a visit to Italy. He spent time in the circus, studying under strongman Ludwig Durlacher in the late 1880s.

On Durlacher's recommendation, he began entering strongman competitions, performing in matches against leading figures in the sport such as Charles Sampson, Frank Bienkowski, and Henry McCann.

In 1901 he organized what is believed to be the world's first major bodybuilding competition.

Set in London's Royal Albert Hall, Sandow judged the event alongside author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and athlete/sculptor Charles Lawes-Wittewronge.
