content: This series consists of black and white photographs, glass plate negatives, copy negatives, cabinet cards, and copy prints. The bulk of the images depict Eugen Sandow, but there are images of other strongmen as well as Coffin's family members. The glass plate negatives and ivorytypes by George Steckel (17" x 20") and (5" x 7") depict Eugen Sandow in a variety of poses. Many of the photographs were taken by George Steckel, Warwick Brooks, Benjamin J. Falk, and H. Roland White.
