1926 Large photograph of famous swimmer Sybil Bauer who had won a gold medal in the 1924 Olympics and was engaged to future radio and television star Ed Sullivan. Life seemed good, but tragedy would soon strike as she was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and died in 1927. One of the most tragic early Olympians of all time, this is one of her better photographs we have ever handled. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption.
