EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Massage and Gymnastics" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an English School's depiction of health practices. The image captures a scene where a skilled masseuse, with utmost dedication, works on a young boy's abdomen. The focus is on correcting his incorrect posture and addressing any deformities caused by obesity. The atmosphere in the room is palpable as we see the wet sheet beneath the boy, indicating that this massage session involves more than just relaxation; it aims at improving his overall well-being. A doctor sits nearby at his desk, attentively observing the proceedings while writing notes for future reference. Surrounding them are other children eagerly participating in various gymnastic exercises under the guidance of their instructors. This snapshot showcases how important physical activity was considered even during those times when medical knowledge was limited. The artist beautifully captures not only the physical aspects but also highlights issues such as asthma prevalent among children during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far medicine has progressed since then. Through this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we gain insight into historical health practices while appreciating art's ability to preserve moments that reflect both societal norms and advancements in medical science.
