EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of triumph for Charlotte Dod, also known as Lottie Dod, during the Northern Tournament in Manchester on 22nd June 1889. At just 18 years old, Dod was already a tennis legend, having become the youngest woman to win the ladies' singles championship at Wimbledon in 1887 at the age of 15. Here, she faces her formidable opponent, Blanche Bingley, in a fierce and intense match. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of Victorian tennis, with players dressed in elegant white outfits and the green grass court providing a picturesque backdrop. The net separates the competitors, while an engaged and animated crowd looks on, adding to the excitement and energy of the scene. The summer sun casts a warm glow over the tournament, illuminating the determination and skill of Dod as she prepares to serve. This photograph is a testament to Dod's remarkable tennis career and the enduring appeal of this classic sport during the 1880s.
