EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1867 takes us back in time to an American women's college, where a calisthenics class is in full swing. The image showcases the dedication and determination of these young women as they engage in physical exercise and athletic pursuits. The setting appears to be a spacious gymnasium, with tall windows allowing natural light to flood the room. In the middle of the composition stands a balance beam, symbolizing both physical and mental equilibrium that these students strive to achieve. It serves as a focal point for their graceful movements and displays of strength. Surrounding it are groups of women engaged in various calisthenic exercises, showcasing their athleticism and commitment to maintaining good health. The wood engraving technique employed here adds depth and texture to the scene, enhancing its historical charm. Each line meticulously carved into the woodblock brings life to every figure captured within this snapshot of collegiate life over a century ago. This artwork not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents an important milestone for women's education and empowerment. It reminds us of how far we have come since then while acknowledging those who paved the way for future generations by embracing physical fitness as part of their academic journey.
