The First "Perfect" Man

This is a link to an original piece of work written by body builder Sandow who lived during the early twentieth century. He was one of the first body builders of his time and he was idolized for his "perfect body". He is just one example of how man and society have been searching to define the term perfect for decades. He is just one example of this idealization along with men like Houdini, Tarzan, and Superman.
