EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Various practical exercises using a rod" captures the essence of health and fitness in the 19th century. Taken by an anonymous European photographer, this image showcases women engaging in a series of stretching and bending exercises with the aid of a rod. The photograph is believed to have been commissioned as an illustration for Anna Fischer's book, "La Femme, Medecin du Foyer" (The Woman, Doctor of the Home), published around 1900. The book aimed to promote female empowerment through self-care and physical well-being. In this image, we witness these women demonstrating their commitment to maintaining good health through flexibility exercises. Their graceful movements highlight both strength and poise while emphasizing the importance of regular exercise for overall well-being. With its timeless appeal, this photograph serves as a reminder that prioritizing one's physical health has always been essential. It also sheds light on how society's perception of women's roles in medicine has evolved over time. Preserved within a private collection but made accessible by Look and Learn under copyright-free status, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history while inspiring us to prioritize our own wellness journeys today.
