Large collection of 108 vintage news photographs capturing legendary tennis player Arthur Ashe, who was the first African American to win singles titles at Wimbledon, the Australian Open, and the U.S. Open. Nearly all the photos, which date primarily from the 1960s and 1970s, capture Ashe on the court, either at practice or during a match, and sometimes posing for the camera. Of the 108 photos in the collection, nearly 63% (68) are wire photos, with the caption either embedded in the photo or cut and affixed to the reverse (wire photos are not original photos, they were transmitted over phone lines and are similar to a fax). The photos vary in size, ranging from approximately, 3.5x4.25" to 8.5x11", with most measuring either 7x9" or 8x10". Because these were all working press photos, many display editorial crop marks and/or written notations on the front. Most display credit stamps on the reverse. Very Good condition overall. This is an outstanding and significant photograph collection chronicling the career of one of the most important and influential tennis players of the modern era. Please note: none of the photos in this collection have been submitted to PSA for evaluation, so no guarantees are made regarding specific Type designations.
