The Pilates Bednasium Photo Series 1958 “Bednasium Poster” Print
A reproduction print featuring nine rare photographs from the 1958 Bednasium sessions with Joe Pilates and Nedda Casei. Arranged in a 3 × 3 grid, the collection brings together a selection of historic images documenting the people and equipment surrounding Joe Pilates’ original studio.
The photographs were taken by Joe Costa for New York Mirror Magazine. In 2023, Elaine Ewing acquired a set of 56 original negatives from the archive of The New York Daily Mirror, the majority of which had never previously been published.
For those interested in Pilates history, Archival Pilates, Contrology, and Original Pilates, these photographs offer a rare look at Joe Pilates, Clara Pilates, and Nedda Casei during this period of the Original Pilates studio.
This reproduction print brings together nine of these historic images in a single piece for Pilates studios, teachers, historians, collectors, and enthusiasts.
