SUMMARY
A photographic illustration extracted from a 1908 volume of Bernarr Macfadden's magazine Physical Culture (Internet Archive Book Images, source volume physicalculture201908macf), reproduced on Wikimedia Commons. The Commons record states 'No known copyright restrictions' rather than an explicit public-domain dedication, so the media rights tag is set to no_known_restrictions accordingly. The image is a three-panel sepia sequence of an infant, the kind of physical-development content the magazine carried; it is used as a period artifact of the publishing enterprise that disseminated Macfadden's doctrine.
NOTES
A period artifact of the enterprise that carried Macfadden’s doctrine: a photographic illustration from a 1908 volume of his magazine Physical Culture, extracted via Internet Archive Book Images and reproduced on Wikimedia Commons. The Commons record marks it “No known copyright restrictions,” so the media entity is tagged no_known_restrictions rather than public_domain. The image is a three-panel sequence of an infant, representative of the physical-development material the magazine published; it stands in for the publishing empire (35 million readers by 1935) through which the doctrine reached the public.
