EDITORS COMMENTS
An Enchanting Gathering at the South of France: A.F. Wilding, the Four-Times Wimbledon Champion, Amidst Monte Carlo's High Society This photograph, taken in 1914, captures the essence of an enchanting moment in time as Anthony Wilding, the renowned tennis player and four-time Wimbledon champion, is seen enjoying the glamour and charm of Monte Carlo's high society. Wilding, affectionately known as 'Tony,' is pictured in the prime of his career, exuding confidence and grace as he engages in conversation with three elegant women: Lady Henry, Miss Elizabeth Asquith, and Miss Heinsins. Lady Henry, whose real name was Edith, Lady Lyttelton, was a prominent figure in British society. She was known for her beauty, intelligence, and her extensive social connections. Miss Elizabeth Asquith, the daughter of the British Prime Minister, Herbert Henry Asquith, was a popular figure in her own right. Her presence at this gathering adds an extra layer of intrigue and importance to the scene. Miss Heinsins, whose identity remains a mystery, completes the quartet of captivating women. The photograph, taken against the backdrop of the South of France and the beautiful Monte Carlo Riviera, is a testament to the allure of the French Riviera and the jet-set lifestyle of the early 20th century. The image of Wilding, a sportsman at the pinnacle of his career, surrounded by the elegance and sophistication of high society, is a fascinating glimpse into the history of tennis and the intersection of sports and society. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, is an invaluable addition to any collection of tennis memorabilia or historical images of the early 20th century.
