EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the Ecole Normale des Instituteurs of Mayenne, circa 1900. The image showcases a group of young women engaged in a gymnastics lesson, highlighting the importance of physical education in their teacher training college curriculum. In this educational setting, these dedicated future teachers are seen lifting dumbbells with precision and focus. Their determined expressions reflect their commitment to mastering the art of weightlifting as part of their comprehensive exercise routine. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era where physical fitness was valued not only for its health benefits but also for its role in shaping well-rounded educators. The composition beautifully portrays the unity and camaraderie among these aspiring instructors as they work together towards achieving their fitness goals. The photographer's skillful capture freezes this dynamic scene, allowing us to appreciate both the gracefulness and strength exhibited by these remarkable women. Preserved by the Institut National de Recherche Pedagogique in Paris, France, this historical gem serves as a testament to the enduring significance of physical education within primary school curricula. As we admire this vintage print from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it remind us that even over a century ago, empowering young minds through exercise was recognized as an essential aspect of holistic education.
