EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the world of tennis. Taken in 1911, it shows the Doubles Challenge Round match between M J G Ritchie and A F Wilding against A H Gobert and M Decugis. The intensity of the game is palpable as the players focus on every move, their eyes fixed on the ball. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to a time when tennis was played with grace and elegance. The players' attire reflects this era, with their traditional white outfits adding an air of sophistication to the scene. The photographer, an English artist from the 20th century whose name remains unknown, has captured not only a sporting event but also a piece of history. This print now resides in a private collection, cherished for its depiction of one of Wimbledon's most memorable matches. The photo was later used as an illustration for "Fifty Years of Wimbledon" by A Wallis Myers in 1926, further cementing its significance within tennis history. Its inclusion in this publication speaks to its importance as both art and documentation. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring legacy that sports can leave behind. It serves as a testament to human skill and determination while evoking feelings of admiration for these athletes who paved the way for future generations on those hallowed grass courts at Wimbledon.
