EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Athletics on the Strand" takes us back to the early 20th century in Atlantic City, a popular resort city along New Jersey's Atlantic coast. The image, captured by an American photographer from the 19th century, showcases a scene of youthful energy and exuberance. In this historic snapshot, we see a group of college boys engaging in various athletic stunts on the Strand, a prominent street in Atlantic City. They form an impressive pyramid with one student at its peak showcasing his strength and balance. This display of physical prowess reflects both the enjoyment and health benefits that were associated with seaside resorts during this time. The photo offers us a glimpse into America's rich history as it captures not only the spirit of athleticism but also highlights the significance of tourism and leisure activities in shaping our society. As tourists enjoy their sightseeing experiences in this vibrant city, large hotels stand tall in the background, symbolizing growth within the hotel industry. With its nostalgic charm and historical context, this print invites viewers to appreciate how past generations found pleasure and relaxation amidst bustling coastal cities like Atlantic City. It serves as a reminder that even though times may change, certain aspects such as joyous moments shared through sports remain timeless throughout American history.
