Monaco Women's Olympiad Hilda Hatt High Jump 1921 Real Photo Postcard

The high jump, a staple of track and field, involves athletes clearing a horizontal bar without displacing it. This image likely captures a female athlete utilizing an early 20th-century technique, such as the scissors or Western Roll, where the jumper goes over the bar leg-first or side-on. The simple wooden apparatus and the athlete's attire are characteristic of athletic competitions from this era, typically pre-1960s.
