Details
Born in Illinois, Virginia Van Wie went to become a great female champion during the 1930s, capturing three consecutive U.S. Women's Amateur titles from 1932-34. Van Wie did lose two final matches to rival Glenna Collett Vare in 1928 and 1930, but defeated Vare to win her first title in '32. In 1934, Van Wie completed her three-year reign with a 2-and-1 decision over Dorothy Traung. Van Wie also competed on the first two victorious USA Curtis Cup teams in 1932 and '34.

Available in three sizes, matted or with two custom framing options.
  • Printed on museum quality digital archival print stock. We have chosen the finest quality 100% cotton fine art papers for the best reproduction as well as for their resistance to fading and superior archival performance. We are proud to use the latest generation of pigmented inks to assure the ultimate standard for quality archival papers.
  • The prints are then enclosed in wood frames (Larson-Juhl "Tribeca" Black or "Ansley" Cherry-Brown) using both acid free mats and foam core backing materials that will extend the life of the finished product. The last part of the finishing equation includes UV filtering Plexiglas.
  • The image is printed as large as possible, while maintaining the original image proportions on the paper size that you select. The image is then matted so that the image is presented with a two-to-three inch border on all sides of the image area. Please see “More Images” (above) for details.
