EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the renowned gymnast Jules Leotard in his iconic performance costume, known as "the Centaure". Taken by an unknown photographer in October 1867, this image showcases Leotard's extraordinary athleticism and grace. Leotard is seen suspended mid-air, defying gravity with a seemingly effortless ease. His body is contorted into a perfect arc, showcasing his incredible flexibility and strength. The intricate details of his costume are highlighted, with its form-fitting design emphasizing every muscle and sinew. The backdrop of the city of Paris adds to the allure of this image, providing a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere that surrounded Leotard's performances during this time period. The photo was captured at an opportune moment when natural light illuminates Leotard's figure from above, casting dramatic shadows on the ground below. Leonard de Selva expertly preserves this historic moment through photography, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry of gymnastics and the skillful craftsmanship behind Leotard's elaborate attire. This print serves as a testament to Jules Leotard's enduring legacy as one of history's most celebrated gymnasts. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the awe-inspiring talent that captivated audiences over a century ago.
