Default TYPE 1 Original Photos

Hi Tom, I thought I would share these with you. They are the only "items related to women playing the game of baseball" in my collection. Although I don't collect female baseball items I do enjoy unusual photos that I find attractive and interesting. I must admit that I am not currently terribly motivated to sell them but who knows what the future may hold. At least if you have interest you know where these are.

The 1910 Myrtle Rowe photos were shot by Bain. The hitting pose is featured in Baseball Americana: Treasures from the Library of Congress http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...ryId=121511254 They have the original plate glass negative. Although I have seen this image feature in other books I have never seen another vintage print. Unfortunately it is affixed to a Culver board. It is original nonetheless. The original photo of Myrtle in the Fielding pose is the only one I have ever seen anywhere.

The photo of the May 16, 1943 AASBL tryouts has to be one of the earliest photos of that league as the slug discusses the formation of the league. It was shot two weeks before the league officially began play.

The 1954 Connie Morgan Clowns photo includes Oscar Charleston and King Tut. I think it is a beautiful image.
