1924 Seductive, full-figure photograph of early female athlete and sex symbol, Aileen Riggin. One of her greatest photographs we have ever handled, this was issued by the Keystone View Company and stamped on the back with a long paper caption. Photo has a date stamp from the year she competed in the Olympics and won two medals. Photo has a couple pinholes from editorial use but otherwise it presents really well.
