Strongwomen Wrestling Troupe Photographs. Early 20th century. Ten images featuring three strongwomen of an early 20th-century wrestling troop. The women include Rikki, Nina, and Vera, alongside Rosita (floral suit), a newcomer hoping to pursue a wrestling career. Photos feature the women flexing and lifting barbells, all while smiling for the camera. Each photo includes inscriptions to the verso with trading card-like info about each woman.
Each 7 x 4 ½.” Varying conditions, but overall, very good
