| Unidentified photographer Team of Gymnasts 1850 (ca) Daguerreotype, 1/2 plate Larry Gottheim, Be-hold, Inc Courtesy of Larry Gottheim - Be-Hold (50 / 6) LL/22285 Seven bearded young men pose in their athletic attire. One holds a dumbbell. In the back row two others also show their arms - one holds the back of his head, one his chin. The similar beards and hairstyles show us an ideal of athleticism in this period around 1850.
