1910réf. 200811910. Women's competitive golf archive 1910s to 1930s documents women golfers in practice tournament and club settings during the formative decades of organized women's golf in the United States. The group provides visual evidence of women's athletic participation in a sport long associated with country-club respectability social access and gendered expectations about dress leisure and competition. The U.S. Women's Amateur Championship began in 1895 as one of the USGA's first three championships and the USGA identifies it as marking the beginning of women's competitive golf in the United States; these photographs and postcard show how that competitive culture appeared in everyday and press imagery in the decades that followed. The archive consists of seven items dated between the 1910s and 1930s: six silver gelatin photographs and one brightly illustrated postcard measuring from approximately 1.75 x 2.75 inches to 7.25 x 9 inches. The photographs include a 1934 press image of golfer Barbara Stoddard in a swing position; a 1935 lineup from the Annual Women's St. Valentine Golf Tournament identifying Helen Waring Sarah Fownes Wadsworth Myrom W. Marr and W.C. Fownes Jr.; three small circa 1928 photographs of women positioned with clubs on a golf range; and an early 1930s image of two women posed with a man at a country club the women holding several clubs with one woman wearing trousers. The illustrated postcard from the early twentieth century shows a woman swinging a club in an athletic outfit still shaped by long-skirted fashion rather than later sportswear. Across the group recurring details include golf clubs held as markers of athletic identity posed swings tournament lineup conventions country-club settings and changing women's clothing from long skirts to less restrictive dress. The archive records women's golf as both competitive sport and social performance making visible the relationship between athletic skill class-coded club culture and evolving public ideas about women's physical capability. Its strongest research value lies in the mix of press photographs vernacular practice images tournament documentation and illustrated popular culture allowing comparison between women as actual competitors and women as stylized sporting subjects. Light handling wear minor edge wear and typical surface wear to photographs and postcard; images remain clear and identifiable; overall very good. Cohesive women's sports archive documenting early twentieth-century women golfers as competitors club participants and subjects of changing athletic representation. unknown

Wellsted's short career was almost entirely devoted to the surveying of the Red Sea, Arabia and Oman, undertaken on a number of expeditions between 1830 and 1837. On board the surveying ship Palinurus he was the first European to set foot in the interior of Oman. Starting late in 1835 from the easternmost point of Oman, Wellsted made his way westward through the Ja`alan region to the Wahibah Sands and then struck north up the Wadi Batha to Samad. There he was joined by Lieutenant F. Whitelock, also of the Indian Navy, who had set out from Muscat later. Together they reached Nazwa, the ancient capital of Oman, and climbed the lower slopes of the Jabal al-Akhdhar, in central Oman. In January 1836 they arrived on the Al-Batinah coast and then turned west, recrossing the Hajar mountains and emerging on the edge of the Dhaharah, the rocky steppe that stretches west toward the Rub` al-Khali. - Somewhat foxed throughout.
