The Boys’ book of manly exercises, sports, and games.
A handbook of sports, gymnastics, and games for boys, published by E.P. Dutton in New York in 1881. Wood-engraved figures demonstrate single-stick fencing, suspension-bar pull-ups, dumbbell drills, and artificial respiration, each posed against plain ground or hatched shading, giving designers isolated action silhouettes and simple apparatus diagrams that cut out cleanly.
