EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a unique moment in the history of fitness and leisure in Australia, featuring a group of girls engaging in physical activity with an unexpected prop: Skittles. Dated back to the early 1900s, this image challenges the traditional notions of exercise and class, as these young women, dressed in modest attire, are seen laughing and enjoying their workout session in an open-air setting. The girls are shown performing various exercises, such as squats, lunges, and stretches, while holding Skittles in their hands. The brightly colored balls add a playful touch to the scene, making the workout session appear less rigid and more enjoyable. This unconventional approach to fitness may have been a way for these girls to make exercise more appealing and accessible, as well as a means to bond and connect with one another. The historical context of this photograph is particularly interesting, as it showcases the evolving attitudes towards health and wellness during the early 20th century. While the Victorian era emphasized the importance of proper posture and rigid exercise routines, this image suggests that a more relaxed and enjoyable approach to fitness was beginning to emerge. Moreover, the inclusion of Skittles in this photograph adds an intriguing layer of mystery, as it is unclear whether the girls are using the Skittles as a form of motivation, a reward, or simply as a prop for the photograph. Regardless, this photograph serves as a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of these young Australian women and their innovative approach to staying fit and active.
