1902182601902. Original Albumen photograph of women in physical education class. 1902. Measures 9.75 x 8 inches. Mounted to photographer's board. Image shows 26 women and girls seated in tiers and posing with various early exercise equipment including dumbbells and large leather balls marked with the year. One man poses wiwth the women in suit and tie and two older men presumably instructors pose alongside the girls one of them extending a hand to touch the shoulder of the girl beside him who looks away. The women's eyes are turned from the camera expressions fixed and unsearchable. They appear to be in a school gymnasium a ladder hung like a track on the wall behind them and racks of free weights beneath it. Women's exercise was first introduced as calisthenics a European import in the 1830s which consisted of light choreographed movements not unlike dance steps. By the late 1800s exercise had been closely linked to women's educational reform. Educational activist Catherine Beecher advocated broadly for physical education as a safeguard for female health and for forming good physical habits in the young. Corner very slightly clipped on one side. Light sunning to image. Overall good condition. unknown
