EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of connection and care between students and patients during a unique physical education session in the late 1950s. The image, sourced from the archives of Bedford College, London, showcases the innovative approach of the college's physical education department in providing therapy and rehabilitation for patients through outdoor activities. The students, dressed in their PE uniforms, are seen working attentively with their patients in the college's garden. The patients, some seated in wheelchairs and others lying on mats, engage in various exercises designed to improve their mobility and overall wellbeing. The serene garden setting, filled with lush greenery and sunlight, creates an idyllic atmosphere that enhances the therapeutic benefits of the session. This historical photograph is a testament to the pioneering work of physical education students at Bedford College, who went beyond the traditional classroom setting to make a difference in the lives of their patients. It also highlights the importance of outdoor activities and nature in promoting health and healing, a concept that remains relevant today. The image, which is part of the extensive collection of educational and historical photographs available at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and serves as an inspiration for the ongoing efforts to promote health, wellbeing, and inclusive education.
