George Caddy :: This image brings a smile to most people familiar with Max Dupain’s iconic Sunbaker 1937. In fact, it is an exercise designed to strengthen the chest. As Health and Physical Culture (1 May 1935) noted: ’… the breath is literally trod out of the figure on the floor. The idea is to make the chest as elastic as possible – hence full inhalation followed by treading and then complete relaxation and inertion.’ 20 February 1937.

George Caddy :: Four high: in this tricky move, which puts a lot of pressure on the bearer at the bottom, the guy in front watching is no idle bystander. His job is to act as ‘spotter’, helping with the formation of the stunt and catching the top balancer if the whole thing collapses. Tim Holman acts as ‘spotter’ for Eve Holman, Max Stewart and Vic Whitehead, supported by bearer Alf Stanbrough. American gymnasts call this a ‘triple holdout’. Bondi Beach, Australia, 1930’s
George Caddy :: Scales. One man supports two women with another man hand-balancing on top, as a separate gymnast can be seen watching from the shoreline. Bondi Beach, Australia, 1930’s / src: SLNSW
Thomas Longworth-Cooper :: Anita Heyworth as The Sun from ‘Peter and Ann’s Journey to the Moon’, at Christmas 1933 at the Prince’s Theatre, Manchester.
