Strong-man Eugene Sandow flexes his muscles and strikes a few poses in front of a black background. This was a short film shot by William K.L. Dickson for the American Mutoscope Company and is not the 1894 Edison film shot at the Black Maria.

This is really only notable and an example of very early cinema photography as the eponymous body-builder flexes and pouts his way through just under a minute of screen time. It is also interesting as a curio of what people paid to watch at the end of the 19th century, and is probably just about the correct length to avoid it becoming repetitive.
