PHOTOGRAPH; Reclining Male Body Builder

| Brief Description |
This black and white photograph mounted on card is of an unidentified reclining male body builder. He wears a pair of dark briefs and lies on a rug with one arm supporting his head and the other lying on his side, one leg bent and the other outstretched.
This is one of a collection of photographs collected by Richard Jarrett, a well-known exponent of the breathing and exercise regime developed by Eugen Sandow. Jarrett was appointed by the Wanganui Education Board as an Honorary Instructor, and was employed to teach breathing exercises to schools within the district. He also ran the Wanganui School of Physical Culture at Sandow Hall in lower St Hill Street in the early 20th century and was employed as the Physical Education Instructor at the Winter School in 1904.
