17116Women baseball players. No date c. 1910s. Vintage Real photo postcard that was never sent. Two women in "Ivanhoe" baseball uniforms. 5.5 x 3.5 in. Figures identified on the verso in handwritten blue ink "Goldie & Irma Wade". The history of women playing the game of baseball dates back to the 19th century. In most cases these early women's baseball teams were considered a novelty act. Permanent teams and leagues were rare but they did exist as evidence by this photograph in which 2 serious ball players pose for the camera. In some rare cases women even played on men's teams; perhaps the case for these two who strangely pose without the rest of their teammates. Minor surface damage with a bit lossof emultion to center of image at knee level. Handling dents. In good to very good condition. unknown books
