Original Type 1 photo featuring groundbreaking former world No. 1 women's tennis superstar, Billie Jean King. King is pictured in action during the 1974 World Team Tennis season, competing for the Philadelphia Freedoms where she served as player/coach. The Freedoms were charter members of the first iteration of WTT, a mixed-gender professional tennis league that existed from 1974-78. Typical handling wear common to press photos with small areas of toning towards edges and corners and a pinhole top-left. Photographer Pamela Schuyler has provided handwritten details about the image along left edge of verso where she has also initialed in black. Measures approx. 8" x 10". A fresh-to-the-hobby example directly from the photographer herself. Pamela Schuyler notably shot for several Boston-area publications and the Associated Press from 1971-78 while also functioning as team photographer for the Boston Celtics from 1974-76. Authenticated and encapsulated as a Type 1 photo by PSA/DNA.
