EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Ring Exercises, 2, Extending Arms Right and Left" showcases the beauty of physical culture in the early 20th century. The colour lithograph, created by an English School artist, is part of a private collection and was originally published as one of a set of cigarette cards by Wills Cigarettes. The image depicts a man engaging in ring exercises, extending his arms both to the right and left. His muscular physique highlights the importance of bodybuilding and physical activity during this time period. The illustration captures the essence of athleticism and strength through its detailed depiction of the human form. Beyond its artistic merit, this print also offers insight into cultural practices surrounding tobacco consumption in the early 20th century. With cigarettes prominently featured on these cards, it serves as a reminder of smoking addiction prevalent at that time. The juxtaposition between jewels such as wedding rings and jewelry items with exercise equipment like rings adds an interesting dynamic to this artwork. It symbolizes how individuals sought to balance their desire for adornment with their commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Overall, this lithograph not only celebrates physical fitness but also provides us with valuable historical context regarding societal norms around health, fashion, and leisure activities during the twentieth century.
