Captain Matthew Webb English Swimmer on High Dive Stunt Postcard Joplin Montana MT Welch Real Photo RPPC Early Action Photo
c. 1907-1929. This image appears to be one of a kind, a rare and quite possibly the only glimpse of Mr. Webb in action as I cannot find another on record. It's also a very early example of action photography which had only just been invented. The photo must have been taken around 1880 and developed later onto this postcard. Postcard has wear and blemishing including a chipped corner, large creasing, edge/corner wear. Please see photos for details.
