EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Body Beautiful, Physical Culture for Women" takes us back to a bygone era in Germany. The image, captured by an anonymous German photographer of the 20th century, showcases a group of young women engaged in physical exercises on a picturesque bridge. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in the book "The Body Beautiful, Physical Culture for Women" written by Alice Bloch. Bloch, as the Directress of the Orthopaedic Gymnastic Institute in Stuttgart, aimed to promote health and exercise among women during that time. In this particular illustration from her book, known as "The Bridge or Bend the Crab" we witness these elegant ladies demonstrating their stretching abilities with impeccable posture and deportment. The scene exudes gracefulness and strength as they engage in various gymnastic movements under Alice Bloch's guidance. This historical snapshot not only reflects the German fascination with physical culture but also highlights its influence on beauty ideals at that time. It serves as a testament to how exercise became an integral part of German culture during this period. Whether it be for personal enjoyment or academic study, this remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into early 20th-century Germany's dedication to female health and fitness through physical culture practices.
