Brief Description
Black wood and plastic mount framing 8 diamond-shaped embroidered cloth badges awarded to Frank Beaurepaire for swim races between 1910 and 1921, surrounding two black-and-white photographs of the swimmer. Each badge reads 'WORLDS RECORD/N A F I' followed by the event and the date (eg. '300 METRES/SWIMMING/AUG 9TH/1910'). One of the photos features Beaurepaire swimming and the other is a smaller, square, head-and-shoulders photograph of the smiling swimmer wearing bathers.
