Fabulous 1926 Bathing Beauty Pageant, long Panoramic Image
1926 and reprinted this year..  Museum quality digital image on photographic paper from high-end 1600-dpi scan..  Excellent condition.
12 x 56 inches
"Intercity Beauties, Atlantic City, 1926" This photograph features 58 very attractive, very much more modern woman than the more staid Miss America Pageant than we are accustomed to. THe Miss AMerica Pageant began in 1921--five years before this pageant--and was, like this pageant, a bathing beauty contest, the winner being crowned in her swimsuit. (It wasn't until 1935 that a talent aspect was added to the Miss America extravaganza, the winner then being able to accept her corwn clothed). As a very small piece of trivia we add the following: it looks to our eye that the winner of the first Miss America Pageant, Margaret Gorman, is competing in this 1926 contest as Miss Washington (DC). Gorman did indeed represent the non-state of The District in the first all-states-wide Miss America, and continued to compete for years after that, reportedly remaining the "darling" of the crowds at Atlantic City. Maker: Atlantic Photo Service, 16 Septmeber 1926. Year depicted: 1926. Year published: 2005. Type of photograph (in the original): gelatin silver print. Size of original: 8 x 48 inches. Price: $250.00 Reproduction method: conservation-printed pigmented ink on heavy matte photographic paper. Print ID# 800650   $200.00

Rerpinted this year after the 1920 original..  Museum quality digital print from 1600-dpi scan of the rare original..  Image by the Moffett Studios..  Excellent condition.
23 x 40 inches.
The 1920 Republican National Convention nominated Ohio Senator Warren G. Harding for United States President and Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge for United States Vice President. The convention was held in Chicago, Illinois, from June 8 to 12, 1920. Many other Republicans sought the nomination, including US Army general Leonard Wood and Illinois Governor Frank Lowden. Dark horse Harding was nominated at the convention, however. Many wanted to nominate Wisconsin Senator Irvine Lenroot for United States Vice President, but Coolidge was nominated instead, because he was known for the Boston police strike in 1919. Harding and Coolidge went on to win against Ohio Governor James M. Cox and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Women's Rights: 1st International Congress of Working Women... Panoramic Photograph, 1919
October 28, 1919.  Museum quality digital image on photographic paper from high-end 1600-dpi scan..  Excellent condition.
8 x 33 inches
The following is taken verbatim from the Elanor Roosevelt Historical Site (Hyde Park) Website: The International Congress of Working Women (ICWW) was the brain child of Margaret Dreier Robins, a wealthy, progressive Republican who felt strongly about women's labor issues and served as the president of the Women's Trade Union League (WTUL). Robins chaired the first ICWW in 1919, a meeting that gathered representatives from nineteen countries to discuss and promote fair labor standards for women. Among other demands, the Congress called for a universal eight-hour workday and legally binding maternity leave for working women. Eleanor Roosevelt attended that first gathering in Washington, D.C. as a volunteer providing simultaneous translation for the delegates. Immediately intrigued by the Congress' goals, ER spent much time socializing with the delegates and grew more supportive of their efforts as her understanding of the issues deepened. Many of the activists that accompanied her to the conference became lifelong associates whose advice ER sought as her involvement in public policy grew. These included Rose Schneiderman, Mary Anderson, and Julia O'Connor, all of whom were ardent trade unionists. Their views about the right to economic security and universal employment had an important effect on ER that remained with her throughout her life as she organized women voters throughout New York and the nation, lobbied FDR as he debated various New Deal economic measures, worked to defend the rights of organized labor, and drafted and promoted the sections of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights dealing with labor and society.
