1909505697National Police Gazette 1909. Paperback. VERY GOOD. Printed black and white 11x16.25' on glossy paper. Photograph by 'Newman New York' with May Harris throwing a man whose upended feet transgress the photo's ruled frame. Caption: 'May Harris. The Female Heavyweight Champion Wrestler of the World who Challenges Any One of Her Sex to Meet Her on the Mat for the Title.' The Police Gazette was a tabloid and men's lifestyle magazine with a particular athletics focus. It was recognized as the main arbiter of World Champion status for boxing until 1920 and stretched its purview to wrestling weightlifting and other feats. Apart from this unrecorded poster we find no mention of May Harris outside of a single notice in the New York Dramatic Mirror Dec. 18 1909 noting a wrestling billing at the Kentwood Louisiana Theater with Blanche Whitney entitled 'What Women Will Do.' A spectacular image of one of the forgotten pioneering champions of Women's Wrestling. National Police Gazette paperback
1902182601902. Original Albumen photograph of women in physical education class. 1902. Measures 9.75 x 8 inches. Mounted to photographer's board. Image shows 26 women and girls seated in tiers and posing with various early exercise equipment including dumbbells and large leather balls marked with the year. One man poses wiwth the women in suit and tie and two older men presumably instructors pose alongside the girls one of them extending a hand to touch the shoulder of the girl beside him who looks away. The women's eyes are turned from the camera expressions fixed and unsearchable. They appear to be in a school gymnasium a ladder hung like a track on the wall behind them and racks of free weights beneath it. Women's exercise was first introduced as calisthenics a European import in the 1830s which consisted of light choreographed movements not unlike dance steps. By the late 1800s exercise had been closely linked to women's educational reform. Educational activist Catherine Beecher advocated broadly for physical education as a safeguard for female health and for forming good physical habits in the young. Corner very slightly clipped on one side. Light sunning to image. Overall good condition. unknown

They share a growing enthusiasm (in Europe and America) for a more scientific and business approach to agriculture - that would make it more productive and profitable. The diversity of subjects and high level of the discussions is quite remarkable for a nation mired in the War of 1812. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PA42

Le jugement « condamne ladite Charlotte Villecourt à être brûlée vive sur un Bucher, qui sera pour cet effet dressé en la plage de Greve par l'Exécuteur de la Haute Justice, son corps réduit en cendres & les cendres jetées au vent, ladite Charlotte préalablement appliquée à la question ordinaire & extraordinaire pour avoir par sa Bouche la vérité d'aucuns faits résultant du Proces & les noms de ses complices ». Dans « L'oeil du Maître : maîtres et serviteurs de l'époque classique au romantisme », Claude Petitfrère rappelle l'extrème sévérité des jugements rendus contre les domestiques et cite, à l'appui de ce constat, le cas de Charlotte Villecourt, condamnée à mort pour un faux témoignage.

1786219 century vintage albumen photograph featuring four rows of women holding free weights in a gymnasium. Image itself Measuring 8.25" x 5" inches mounted on photographer's board of aprox 10" x 8" inches. Albumen print. Circa 1890's. The women stand in tightly single file rows holding dumbbell weights in both hands at shoulder height ready to raise their arms above their heads. Their faces are composed most of them unsmiling though a few smiles seem to break through making light of the occasion. The women wear long skirts in solid colors with low-heeled boots just visible beneath and shirtwaist blouses some adorned in small bows at the neck or leather bags at the hip. The classroom is long with wooden floors and wooden planked walls and ceiling with pipes and ducts exposed an apparent recreational space or Gymnasium. The portrait documents women's fitness as a novel endeavor. Photographer's board has wearing along the edges and one small ink blot. Photograph is sepia toned and well defined though somewhat overexposed but subjects are clearly visible. Such an early image of weight lifting for women is scarce; in very good condition. unknown
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
