EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a significant moment in history. In the grounds of Girton College at Cambridge University, we witness a group of pioneering female undergraduates engaging in a game of tennis. This remarkable image showcases their determination and resilience as they break barriers and challenge societal norms. Girton College, founded in 1869, holds the distinction of being the first college for female undergraduates. It stands as a symbol of progress and empowerment for women seeking higher education during an era when opportunities were limited. Reinhold Thiele's expertly captured landscape format brings this historic scene to life with its timeless elegance. The composition beautifully captures both the gracefulness and intensity displayed by these young women on the tennis court. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era - long skirts paired with blouses or dresses - yet it does not hinder their agility or enthusiasm for sport. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how far society has come since then, celebrating achievements made possible by trailblazers like those depicted here. This print serves as a powerful reminder that through determination and perseverance, boundaries can be shattered and new paths can be forged. Reinhold Thiele's masterful photography transports us back to an important chapter in history while also inspiring us to continue striving for equality and progress today.
