EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the Furzedown training college in Tooting, July 1952. In this image, a group of women pupils are seen showcasing the stark contrasts between Victorian and modern physical training techniques. Dressed in elegant Victorian costumes, complete with long dresses and corsets, some of the students demonstrate exercises that were popular during that era. Their poised demeanor reflects the strictness and formality associated with Victorian society. On the other hand, their counterparts dressed in more contemporary gym attire exhibit a sense of freedom and flexibility as they engage in modern exercise routines. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into how physical education has evolved over time. It not only highlights the advancements made in athletic wear but also emphasizes changing attitudes towards fitness and femininity. The stark contrast between these two groups serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those days. Mirrorpix has beautifully captured this moment frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic appeal of this image. Whether you're interested in women's history or simply intrigued by vintage fashion trends, this print is sure to transport you back to an era where physical training was undergoing significant transformation.
