1917167741917. Photograph album of youth social life and athletics 1917-1918 documents girls' basketball mixed-gender recreation and civilian interaction with military personnel during the World War I era. The album centers on teenage subjects engaged in organized sport seasonal leisure activities and group social gatherings while also incorporating images of uniformed servicemen on leave. The material provides visual evidence of female athletic participation alongside broader patterns of youth culture and wartime presence in civilian spaces.<br /> <br /> Photograph album. Circa 1917-1918. Oblong format 7 1/4 x 11 1/4 inches containing 48 silver gelatin photographs mounted across the first 15 pages of a 100-page album. Images include three photographs of a girls' basketball team identified by a ball marked "WHS 1918" showing players posed in uniform consisting of elbow-length tops neckerchiefs and full culotte-style bottoms designed for mobility while maintaining period standards of modesty. A single image of a boys' 1917 basketball team is also present with one figure removed from the photograph. Additional scenes include approximately twelve beach images of boys and girls in bathing attire-girls in swim caps and short dresses boys in tank tops and shorts-posing on sand in shallow surf and aboard a small boat. Winter activity is represented through two images of girls sledding. Group portraits include fifteen girls posed on a veranda and seated on a lawn before the same large building suggesting a school or institutional setting. Wartime presence appears in photographs of four men in World War I-era military uniforms standing on a street corner and a uniformed sailor posed with a female companion. Additional images depict a parade crowd and two staged scenes of women in late nineteenth-century costume. Two photographs show figures physically removed.<br /> <br /> The album documents a period in which girls' participation in organized athletics particularly basketball expanded within school settings reflecting broader shifts in physical education for young women in the early twentieth century. The coexistence of athletic recreational and military imagery situates youth experience within the social environment shaped by World War I where servicemen were visible within civilian life. The clothing activities and group formations provide insight into gender norms leisure practices and institutional life during this period.

1914List520Nome: Lomen Brothers 1914. Silver gelatin print 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches. Fine. Women's baseball evolved alongside men's leagues beginning in the 1860s with many teams and leagues appearing throughout the following decades often playing indoors and often unrecorded in the annals of baseball history. Women's baseball was particularly popular in Minnesota and parts of the Midwest in the early part of the twentieth century. This photograph bears evidence as to the game's migration to Alaska Territory where long winters would have been particularly conducive to an indoor league. This photograph by the Nome Alaska firm Lomen Brothers shows the champion team of the Ladies Indoor Baseball League in Nome. We find no record in contemporary newspapers or anywhere else of the league. The Nome Brothers were a well-known photographic firm who migrated from Minnesota to Alaska at the height of the Nome Gold Rush in 1903. By 1909 at the end of the gold rush the population of Nome declined substantially to 2500 from 20000 just a few years earlier. This photograph shows interesting documentation of Nome post-rush and also of the spread of women's sports through migrant populations. We find one other example in the Fred Henton collection at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center. A fine example. Lomen Brothers unknown books

17115turn of the century Championship Women's Baseball Team Photo Postcard. "The Western Bloomer Girls-Ladies Champion Base Ball Club-Watervliet Mich." Vintage photo-illustrated postcard of the girls baseball team. No date c. 1911. Eleven uniformed girls pose for a team photograph. 3.5 x 5.5 inches. The Western Bloomer Girls were founded in 1911 by Maud Nelson a renowned pitcher in her own right. "Bloomer Girl" baseball teams of women were formed starting in the 1890s taking their name from Amelia Bloomer who designed loose fitting trousers that women wore while playing sports. Bloomer Girls teams rarely played each other but traveled across America challenging local amateur and minor league men's teams. Bloomer Girls were disciplined sportswomen and frequently won games with their solid skills and competitive spirits. Interestingly these "Boomer Girl" teams were integrated when it came to gender; while most of the players were women each roster had at least one male player. In this image two male players pose in the second row. Verso is blank with space for message and address. Light crease to bottom left corner. In very good condition. unknown books
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
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
