The players from Alberta are seen poised beside their horses as they await the match's commencement in Rye New York. The image bears the credit "International Newsreel" with annotations indicating it was distributed as a news photo under the slug "Two Teams." The second photograph is captioned "Women Now Play Polo" and is dated March 20 1940. It features prominent players Joan Baker daughter of famed Australian sportsman "Snowy" Baker Mrs. "Willie" Tevis and Yvette Barette at the Riviera Country Club in Santa Monica California.

Weber / Dorchester Centre Mass." shows a lineup of women riders mounted and dressed in coordinated attire likely posed before or after a match.

1940206121940. Unidentified photographers female boxing photograph archive late 1940s-1950s documents the emergence of organized women's boxing in the United States supporting research into gender barriers in professional sport postwar athletic culture and the early institutional recognition of female fighters. The photographs capture three central figures in mid-century women's boxing-Barbara Buttrick Phyllis Kugler and Jo-Ann Hagen-whose careers intersected in exhibition bouts and championship contests during a period when women's participation in boxing required legal and promotional negotiation. The material provides visual evidence of competitive matches and ringside moments at a time when women's boxing was only beginning to secure formal licensing in certain jurisdictions.<br /> Nine black-and-white silver gelatin photographs each approximately 5 x 7 inches depicting in-ring action and between-round scenes. Three images show a bout between Hagen and Kugler with both fighters captured mid-exchange in close quarters gloves raised and bodies angled forward in offensive and defensive stances. Five photographs document a match between Kugler and Buttrick likely connected to their 1957 championship contest in San Antonio Texas where the fighters successfully petitioned for a state boxing license for women; scenes include active exchanges as well as ring positioning under overhead lighting. One image shows Buttrick seated in her corner resting between rounds attended by seconds just outside the frame. Across the group the fighters wear standard boxing attire of the period and the ring environment-ropes canvas and audience proximity-appears consistent with mid-century professional venues.<br /> Produced during a period when women's boxing was contested both culturally and legally the archive documents early efforts to legitimize female participation in a sport historically restricted to men. Buttrick's victory in Texas marked a milestone in the recognition of women's championship boxing while Kugler's extensive bout record and Hagen's career-long rivalry with both fighters illustrate the development of a competitive circuit. All three figures were later inducted into the International Women's Boxing Hall of Fame underscoring their role in establishing the sport's foundations.

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.<br /> <br /> 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
