In 2007, the magazine went completely digital.
American Heritage would find rare photos in many U.S. libraries, purchase the rights to make prints, and use the photos in one of its articles.
These four photos became part of the American Heritage archives.
I’m not sure if these four photos were ever used.
The first one shows the stages to complete a standing somersault. Photo 2 shows “the butt raise,” a highly complex maneuver. I’m not sure what to call Photo 3, bu the fourth one looks like a VICTORY formation.
On the back of each photo is a notation by a staff member. These four are part of a series of five, but I only have four.
The photos are sub 8 x 10 inches and are in great shape
Pleaser excuse the crude watermarks, but I’ve had too many folds “borrow” my images.
