    Caption: "R U N N I N G J U M P.," c. 1917. Image of an early high jumper in mid-leap, with men clad in military uniforms watching, as well as civilian men and women. In the high jump, athletes attempt to leap over a horizontal bar without the benefit of a pole (as in pole vaulting). The technique shown here is an early one with the jumper upright rather than in the "Fosbury Flop" position, developed later in the century. The uniforms and surrounding vegetation in the photograph suggest that that event may have taken place at Camp Lewis, Washington.

  • McCarthy Album 11, Photograph 148

    Caption: "Spanish Slave Market, St. Augustine, Florida. July 10, 1934." An open-air pavilion with a gabled roof and six bays appears in the center of this photograph, somewhat obscured by surrounding trees and vegetation. The waterfront site on which the pavilion sits has served St. Augustine as a marketplace since the city's founding in the sixteenth century, for food, commercial goods, and for slaves. The pavilion in the photograph was constructed in 1888, after a fire burned down the previous structure. In the twentieth century, entrepreneurs used the slave market aspect of the site's history as a hook to entice northern tourists into St. Augustine's historic quarter. The market has often served as a rallying site for protestors, from suffragettes to protestors of the war in Iraq. Various civil rights marches held around the market in the 1960s attracted such luminaries as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Andrew Young.
