Manuale di ginnastica
Manuale di ginnastica is an 1864 gymnastics manual by Emilio Franscini, printed by the Carlo Colombi lithographic press and held by ETH-Bibliothek. Its numbered plates show boys and young men performing bar exercises, with hanging, swinging and inversion positions drawn in pen and wash line work. A designer could take the clear, step-by-step figure sequences as a model for instructional diagrams or movement studies.
