May-pole exercises : a collection of exercises compiled for the use of teachers in infant schools

Hughes, E., Miss · London : J. Curwen & Sons · 7 pictures

A manual of May-pole dance exercises compiled by Miss E. Hughes for teachers in infant schools, published in London by J. Curwen & Sons. The four photographs show groups of young children in pale dresses and dark suits working around a central pole, with ribbons spreading out from its top. A designer could take the ordered geometry of the radiating ribbons and the repeated, evenly spaced figures arranged in a circle.
