Photographic postcard of a swimming champion, possibly 'M. Kershaw'

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

    "... Kershaw" ?
  • someclevername said:
    So far my best guess of the signature on the above postcard is "M. Kershaw". Also of interest I found a very nice postcard with an image Miss Beatrice Kerr (currently for sale) at "http://www.sportspages.com/swimming/ephemera/general/beatrice_kerr_(champion_australian_swimmer)_1911_27546". Here is the description of the postcard: Original postcard. Real photograph of Beatrice Kerr, titled "Champion lady swimmer and diver of Australia." Signed and inscribed "Coo-ee" Yours Sincerely Beatrice Kerr 1911. Postally unused. Inscription and signature in black ink to front. Handwritten annotations in pencil to reverse. In very good condition.

    someclevername beachcomber australia Thanks guys! Kershaw looks to be the most likely, deciphering handwriting is half the challenge :)
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    someclevername Oh & thanks! Have passed this onto our curators :)

    "Zenzo Shimizu (清水 善造 Shimizu Zenzō, 25 March 1891 – 12 April 1977), also spelt Zenzo Shimidzu, was a male tennis player from Japan." " At the 1921 Wimbledon Championships he reached the semifinal which he lost to Manuel Alonso in five sets. He also was a member of Japan's Davis Cup team that finished second to United States in 1921. In 1921 he won the singles title at the Queen's Club Championships by defeating Mohammed Sleem in the final in straight sets. He established the earliest period of Japanese tennis together with Ichiya Kumagae." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenzo_Shimizu

    Thanks for the teamwork @artolog and @b-59. I've included his full name (both spellings) and added some information in the notes field.
