190017161New York: Cassell and Company 1900. First American Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. xvi 204 pp with three colored folding maps and 67 illustrations from photographs. Original green cloth with illustration of the authors on the front board. Minor insect damage to front board spine slightly toned some foxing to endpapers else quite sound and clean. The American husband and wife team were wealthy zealous and energetic explorers who together made many expeditions to the Himalayas. Fanny a suffragist as well as a bit of a publicity hound made sure the world knew of her achievements as a pioneering female climber. Among other achievements she held the women's altitude record for 28 years after her conquest of 23000-ft Pinnacle Peak in 1906. Robinson Wayward Women amusingly describes her as having "practically battered the Karakorams into submission first treading them over with her squat hob-nailed figure and then pinning them down on virgin maps and charts to take home for the various Geographical Societies of England and America to fight over." This is the account of their first Himalayan expedition 1898-99 during which they reached the Karakoram Pass and explored the Biafo Glacier Neate W124. Cassell and Company hardcover books

1900s French Women's Fencing Duel Stereoview Photograph Archive

1900188011900. Women SPORTS Six action shots of a women's fencing dual in the early 1900s. 4" x 6" each. Stereoview on cardboard mount. N.p. Captioned "Le Duel" with each photograph numbered. Historically fencing has been primarily a men's sport and though women have been fencing for hundreds of years there was still heavy stigma against women taking up any sport. After WWI many French fencing schools opened up classes for women to grow their economy. This act opened up the doors for women to eventually be allowed to fence in the Olympics in 1924. This set of six stereoviews showcase two women fencers with a female referee and a group of female viewers. Each stereoview is numbered in the order of the duel; the first shows the two women facing each other with their swords down the second and third show the women mid duel and the last three show the victor heralding over the defeated opponent with two women side by side helping her recover. Minor wear to edges some sunning and wear to photos. Overall only good condition. unknown

Civil War Era Female Equestrian CDV

1850205961850. Albumen carte-de-visite depicting a woman dressed in a dark riding habit holding a slender riding crop in her right hand and resting her left on a desk. C.a. 1850s-70s. 2.5" x 4" on cardstock mount. There are no markings on the photograph indicating the woman's identity though her long-sleeved fitted bodice and full skirt are characteristic of American equestrian fashion in the mid-19th century. Riding habits of this period often adapted the tailored silhouette of men's coats paired with practical yet elegant skirts suitable for sidesaddle riding. The riding crop in her hand was both a functional tool for controlling a mount and a fashionable accessory in formal equestrian portraiture. Women's participation in equestrian activities in the 19th century was often associated with skill refinement and social standing with formal portraits like this serving as lasting representations of their horsemanship and style. Overall very good condition. A fine example of mid-19th century equestrian portrait photography. unknown

Early Girl Athletes & Women Record Breakers Photo Collection 1900-1940

1900158521900. WOMEN IN SPORTS Photographic collection of 18 rare vintage photos celebrating girls and women in sports. Some are identified with names and locations. Locations include New Jersey Canada New York California Massachusetts. Dated approximately 1900-1940. Various sizes; mostly between 8.5" x 11" and 6.5x 8.5" with four smaller photos at 2.25" x 3.5". Black and white silver gelatin photographs. Many pieces show uniformed team photos and action shots documenting girls' increasingly rigorous participation in active sports in the first half of the 20th century. Sports include winter skiing ice skating fencing equestrian and polo bowling swimming track and field rugby. Many of the photos have extended captions on the verso. For example one photo features several Canadian swimmers in uniform in 1930 with the caption: "Swimming champions add to picturesque country at Lake Louise Canada. They are left to right: Agnes Geraghty Olympic swimmer; Catherine Ames Like Lindstrom Metropolitan Distance Champion; Constance Hanf Junior Metropolitan Champion; Eleanor Holm National Champion back stroke 100 and 200 yards; Georgia Colemen National Champion Diver.

This archive is a testament to these women's historic strides revealing their early physical training their membership in early sport clubs as well as their most daring record-breaking feats. The collection depicts women participating in during the early 20th century. unknown

The front row is spread across the grass with others in chairs behind them and the back row sitting on the open windowsill and ledge along the side of the building. The group is entirely female suggesting maybe an early women's college all of them dressed in high-collared dresses long skirts with bustles many in hats and some with parasols.

Women in Sports Photo Archive Including One of the Earliest Female Bullfighters 1900-1950s

1900224351900. Sports and HobbiesWomen's History Archive of six original photographs depicting women in sports and physical culture ca. 1900s-1950s. A striking group of five silver gelatin photographs and one stereoview documenting early and mid-20th century women's athletics across a range of sports including bullfighting competitive swimming mass calisthenics and weight training. The archive is anchored by a powerful press photograph of Bertha Trujillo a Colombian woman bullfighter shown bloodstained and exhausted yet defiant after leaving the ring as documented by a Hamilton Wright press caption on verso dated May 7 1956. The image captures the rare spectacle of a woman operating within a hypermasculine and violently gendered tradition underlining her transgressive presence in the public arena of the corrida. Trujillo's visibility as a "girl bullfighter" not only subverts gendered codes of spectacle and aggression but also underscores the fraught place of women in national rituals of machismo. Also included is an early gelatin silver stereoview of a woman mid-dive from a boat into open water ca. 1900s her long dress captured in graceful suspension. A vintage sepia-toned postcard shows a massive synchronized physical training display by women in uniform skirts likely in a European stadium setting. A third photograph features a smiling young woman swimmer in a tight one-piece suit standing beside a trophy likely ca. 1920s-30s exuding post-competition confidence and the growing visibility of women in elite amateur sport. Two additional gelatin silver prints ca. 1930s-40s show women engaged in solitary strength and flexibility exercises: one throwing a medicine ball under clouded sky the other stretching a resistance band at the edge of a pond. Each of these images gestures toward evolving conceptions of female strength embodiment and public physicality across the 20th century. The photographs collectively trace a visual history of women's contested access to spaces of physical prowess and public acclaim. Minor edge wear and surface rubbing to a few prints. Overall very good condition. A varied archive showcasing women's athleticism in the early 20th century. unknown
