Great set of five 1930s-40 photos of perhaps the greatest female athlete of all time, Babe Didriksen Zaharias. 1) Golf backswing dated November 1934, great pose of the 10-time LPGA Champion in action in this 7.5x9.5" image. 2) Clearing the bar in track and field - looks like high jump, 7x9". 3) Elegantly seated in long gown, 6.5x9.5". 4-5) From the 1947 British Championships; one 6x8.5" shot depicts her in kilt dancing the Highland Fling, while that image is also part of a two-panel 7x9" shot that includes her in follow-through of her swing while wearing said kilt. PSA letters included, photos are all Type I and from the Brown Bros. archive.
