These three pioneer feminists were called, in 1927, "The Three Musketeers." They made international news and achieved way more than that "15 minutes of fame" we hear so much about, as the first women alone to hike the entire Green Mountain Trail, beginning in Mass. and ending in Vermont. They did this, a 27 day long hike, "without male escort, or firearms" which was deemed pretty courageous back then!
This is an original photograph, a press photo, in fact, used by a newspaper for an article on these three gals in 1927. The paper affixed to the back of the photograph reminds the newspaper editor to credit the photo agency if they use the image.
Photo is a very frameable large format with an interior image size of approx. 9 and 3/4 by 7 inches. As you can see, it has no left hand border, and there are various bends and minor creasings, also a little rippling at the edges. This would have been used by the newspaper, and then it seems carelessly shoved into a file cabinet to languish for decades before being discovered. A wonderful piece of history.
We'll ship this in a padded envelope with interior support.
