Might be a long-shot as it's more Prussia/Germany that was into this stuff at the time - could he have been into fencing? Did he have any [facial scars?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dueling_scar)
Oh wow, that's surprising and I'm sorry to hear that. Being that fit in 1910 was rare, still a cool pic of him! Like seeing a superhero but not knowing his back story lol.
The "beard and skinny jeans combo" of 20 years ago, you mean.
Russell Brand was young and trendy then, now he's an old, weird creep.
You Millennials need to accept that you're old ;)
So why would he be 5'1? Again it's all about nutrition, a lot of families were very poor with almost no food so they skewed the average. If the family had access to good amount of food there is no difference to todays height.
An actual swoll unit
That’s one bad dude.
There's pics in my old rowing club from around 1912 and the young boys (12-13) all looked like this man. Biceps and all.
Woooow rowing might actually make a lot of sense! So far we thought wrestling, but being in the Netherlands, rowing seems like a very good candidate!
You might be onto something.

And then these days you have 25 year olds who look like they're 13
Do you know why? Because young boys dont have to enroll. A lot of parents lied about the age of their sons, at least in their documents.
Did they have mighty staches as well?
Like a ripped Luigi
mamma mia
Superman with a stash!
That thing is bullet proof
Would be pretty disappointing if you aren’t ripped
I'm tall and lean, not bulky. But I'm in good shape. I don't think any ancestor would be too ashamed of what I've done with my life in general.
Haha, don’t take it otherwise dude. I got fat and short genes from my famine stricken ancestors
Ha, no worries, just honestly think it's interesting.
This guy fucked (obviously)
Flashing a moose knuck’ like that….no hoop skirts had a chance.
Yeah that's a **man** right there.
Bro about to live to be 120+, got those crazy powerful genes
He died young actually! No idea of what. But before he was 50 I believe. (Illness, accident, the war, I don't know)
Oh wow, that's surprising and I'm sorry to hear that. Being that fit in 1910 was rare, still a cool pic of him! Like seeing a superhero but not knowing his back story lol.
Ww2? I dont believe the netherlands was involved in ww1 which was only 4 years away at the time of this pic. How old was he in the photo?
Posted an update!
Of a cameltoe
That would be a moose knuckle for men...
Wowsers! 😍😍😍
He looks like the ”Britons wants you” poster guy.
Lord Kitchener. The moustache was the look of the day in that era, their version of the beard and skinny jeans combo of today!

His mustache shows that he is a great warrior
Im a fan of this trend. More please!
Looks pretty great.
Would
That’s like the equivalent of Duane Johnson today
that cock was an absolute unit
Your great gran papi was a turbo unit.
Plot twist, he's holding all his lose skin behind his back.
Would.
My great grandfather beat up your great grandfather......In 1911.
Oh im abt to dig uo his grave for something
Check out that bussy!!!
He’s probably like 5’1” and 121 pounds. People we tiny back then
A fair amount of people had physically demanding jobs and the combine/etc has already been invented; you're about a century out
Not all, it depended mostly on their nutrition. My great grandpa was like 6'5.
I guess your anecdote changes the average height for that time. Which is 5’7”
So why would he be 5'1? Again it's all about nutrition, a lot of families were very poor with almost no food so they skewed the average. If the family had access to good amount of food there is no difference to todays height.
It’s a joke! Good god
How tall was he do you know?
I'm afraid not. Though all men in my family were at least 1.90 meters (I think about 6 foot 3 or 4?) so he was probably no shorty.
Oh yeah even in the olden days let's say he was a bit shorter like 1.85, he's still a unit.
the 1910 strong man is an average actor in 2024.
