Correct Posture
Apart from this book nothing more is known about Capt. Godfrey Rodrigues at present. The book appears to date from the 30s.
It has been pointed out that in view of the fact that the book contains photos of both Sandow and his Daughter it is possible that the only ‘discovery’ that Capt. Rodrigues made was to discover a copy of one of Sandow’s books. Other than that he advocates little or no Physical Exercise, just ‘Posture’.
It is equally possible that this booklet was also a weak excuse to publish photos of naked pubescent females that would otherwise have been banned. You decide.
P.S. — nice pants.

“Art without posture is not art…”
Indeed.
I, for one, applaud his use of nude young women to demonstrate correct posture. It really got the point across. In face, after viewing the examples, I found myself to be more erect almost immediately.
