Handbook of graded lessons in physical training and games for primary and grammar grades
A 1907 Philadelphia handbook by William A. Stecher, written for teachers of primary and grammar school pupils, setting out graded lessons in physical training and games. The single picture is a photographic plate of a schoolboy in a white shirt and knee-length trousers, shown in profile lifting one knee high in a standing exercise pose against a dim studio backdrop. A designer might take its plain, posed-action realism and its strong side-profile silhouette against a dark ground.
