1870 Calisthenics Class Room Grammar School Pupil Teacher
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SCHOOL: CALISTHENICS, 1870" takes us back to a bygone era in American education. The image showcases a grammar school classroom filled with young girls engaged in calisthenics exercises. The wood engraving, created in 1870, beautifully captures the essence of this late 19th-century educational setting. Rows of neatly dressed students can be seen following their teacher's lead as they perform various physical movements designed to promote strength and flexibility. The scene exudes an air of discipline and camaraderie as these young women come together to improve their physical well-being within the confines of their academic environment. It offers a glimpse into the importance placed on holistic development during that time period. As we study this photograph, we are reminded of how far our educational system has evolved since then. Today, calisthenics may not hold such prominence in classrooms, but it serves as a testament to the dedication teachers have always had towards nurturing both the minds and bodies of their students. This Granger Collection artwork allows us to appreciate the rich history behind American education while also reflecting on how much progress has been made over time. It is truly an inspiring piece that reminds us of the enduring value of physical activity within our schools.
