‎The Game of Draw-Poker Mathematically Illustrated; Being a Complete Treatise on the Game Giving the Prospective Value of Each Hand Before and After the Draw and the True Method of Discarding and Drawing With a Thorough Analysis and Insight of the Game as Played at the Present Day by Gentlemen‎

‎New York: William H. Murphy 1875. First edition. viii 9-72 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Publisher's blue cloth front cover stamped in gilt and black. Spine ends rubbed light soiling to cover and spotting to text but in all an attractive copy. First edition. viii 9-72 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Draw Poker 1875: its Rules and Math. First edition of this important early mathematical approach to poker; along with Blackbridge's The Complete Poker Player 1875 it is the earliest book devoted soley to the game. The author Henry T. Winterblossom advertises himself as a Professor of Mathematics and his book is the first to treat the mathematical aspects of poker. Winterblossom argues that knowing the odds and probabilites of success with each hand mitigates the risk inherent in gambling and reduces the player's reliance on dumb luck: "All games of chance create a morbid appetite in those who indulge in them in proportion to their ignorance of the mathematical basis upon which those games are constructed." <br/><br/>"The National Game" a New York Times article for February 12 1875 suggests that Winterblossom is a pseudonym and though the author's real name is not revealed he was thought to be a member of New York's literary Lotus Club.<br/><br/>The earliest contemporary notice of Blackbridge's Complete Poker Player considered with Winterblossom the first books on the sport was a review in the 10 April 1875 edition of the New York Times - evidence perhaps that Winterblossom's work has precedence as the first book on poker.

‎1900s French Women's Fencing Duel Stereoview Photograph Archive‎

‎1900. 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

‎Civil War Era Female Equestrian CDV‎

‎1850. Albumen carte-de-visite depicting a woman dressed in a dark riding habit holding a slender riding crop in her right hand and resting her left on a desk. C.a. 1850s-70s. 2.5" x 4" on cardstock mount. There are no markings on the photograph indicating the woman's identity though her long-sleeved fitted bodice and full skirt are characteristic of American equestrian fashion in the mid-19th century. Riding habits of this period often adapted the tailored silhouette of men's coats paired with practical yet elegant skirts suitable for sidesaddle riding. The riding crop in her hand was both a functional tool for controlling a mount and a fashionable accessory in formal equestrian portraiture. Women's participation in equestrian activities in the 19th century was often associated with skill refinement and social standing with formal portraits like this serving as lasting representations of their horsemanship and style. Overall very good condition. A fine example of mid-19th century equestrian portrait photography. unknown‎

A third image captures Helen Meany famed Olympic diving champion in mid-somersault at a Palm Beach facility-also with original press label and NEA date stamp 1930.

Two additional studio portraits show swimmers at leisure: a duo seated lakeside in matching suits and caps and a group of four people standing in the water at a pool identified on verso as the family of international diplomats and military officers including Inga Bryn of Norway and Barine Drake daughter of Col. G.D. Drake.<br /> <br /> Verso stamps and typed captions mostly intact and legible. Overall very good condition.

‎Ladies Champion Base Ball Club c. 1911‎

‎1911. turn 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

‎Two Original Photos of Early Women's Tennis Players Circa 1880s‎

‎1880. 2 Albumen photos of early recreational tennis game. Circa 1880's. Larger photo measures 6.75" x 8.5" inches on original photographer's board measuring 9.75" x 6.75". Smaller photo measures 7.25" x 4.5" inches on white photographer's board measuring 8" x 5" inches. Photo was taken by Marston photo studio of Bangor Maine. Larger photo shows a large group of young women posed in tiers on a lawn in front of a large brick building. The front row is spread across the grass with others in chairs behind them and the back row sitting on the open windowsill and ledge along the side of the building. The group is entirely female suggesting maybe an early women's college all of them dressed in high-collared dresses long skirts with bustles many in hats and some with parasols. In the front row four women hold tennis rackets as if posing before or after a game. This restless group of young women are pictured in the 1870s or 1880's. The other photo shows a tennis game at play with a man on one side of the net and two women on the other holding rackets on a tennis lawn. The court has been constructed on a lawn with painted boundaries and a net which was customary in 19th century. In the background is a large white wooden house.
