EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and dynamic print captures the essence of physical culture in the early 20th century. Titled "Dumb-bell Exercises, 1, For Developing Biceps and Triceps" this colour lithograph showcases a man engaging in weight training to sculpt his muscles. Published by Wills Cigarettes as part of a set of cigarette cards, it reflects the cultural fascination with bodybuilding and sports during that era. The image portrays a male figure performing various exercises using dumbbells, emphasizing the importance of developing biceps and triceps for strength and aesthetics. The artist's attention to detail is evident in depicting the anatomy of muscles accurately. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also sheds light on societal attitudes towards health and fitness at the time. It serves as a reminder of how tobacco companies used imagery related to physical activity to promote their products before society became aware of smoking addiction's harmful effects. With its bold colors and energetic composition, this lithograph encapsulates both an appreciation for human physiology and an era when exercise was becoming increasingly popular. Whether displayed in a gym or art collection, this print invites viewers to reflect on our evolving understanding of wellness throughout history.
