Corsican bodybuilder Ange Camilli took first place in a French beauty contest. This body type was considered to be ideal in the first quarter of last century. Lean body (not overly muscular) and strong limbs were emphasized in early bodybuilding publications.
Photograph by Alfred Noyer. This image is most likely from a postcard. One source claims the image is dated around 1910, another source says early 1920s. Based on the source, I'm going with the latter.
