EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Tableau of 4" from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, dates back to 1937. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of physical education for students in the past, specifically in a college or educational setting. Four young individuals, two boys and two girls, are arranged in a tableau, each frozen in a pose that emphasizes their athletic abilities. The boys, dressed in shorts and shirts, demonstrate strength and agility, with one performing a handstand and the other holding a weight aloft. The girls, dressed in blouses and skirts, display grace and flexibility, with one balancing on one foot and the other extending her leg behind her. The setting of the photograph is a physical education classroom or gymnasium, with wooden floors, ropes hanging from the ceiling, and a chalkboard in the background. The atmosphere is one of focused energy and determination, as the students prepare to engage in their daily physical education activities. This photograph is a valuable historical record of the importance of physical education in the lives of students during the 1930s. It also highlights the differences in gender roles and expectations during this time, with the boys encouraged to build strength and the girls to demonstrate grace and flexibility. The "Tableau of 4" photograph is a testament to the enduring value of physical education in fostering healthy bodies and minds, and serves as a reminder of the rich history of education and student life in the 20th century.
