EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history on Fleet Street, where young newspaper clerks from the advertising departments gather at St. Brides Institute during their lunch break for a brief but invigorating exercise session. Under the guidance of a master instructor, these men participate in ten minutes of physical exercises to keep themselves fit and healthy amidst their busy work schedules.
Organized by Mr. Benson, a prominent advertising agent, the Ad-News Physical Exercises Association brings together these workers for a shared goal of maintaining their physical well-being. The scene is reminiscent of Edwardian-era London, showcasing the dedication of these clerks to prioritize their health even during hectic workdays.
As they engage in aerobics and other forms of exercise under the grandeur of St. Brides Institute - known as the artistic headquarters of London's printers - one can't help but admire the commitment and camaraderie displayed by this group. This image serves as a reminder that even in bustling urban environments like Fleet Street, taking time for personal health and fitness is essential.
Through this historical snapshot frozen in time, we witness not just a simple lunchtime routine but also a testament to resilience and self-care among hardworking individuals striving for balance in an era marked by industrial growth and progress.
