EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of ten action portraits showcases Dorothea Lambert Choukes, a trailblazing champion of women's tennis in the early 1910s. Dorothea, born in 1878, rose to prominence during the Edwardian era and left an indelible mark on the sporting world. In these dynamic images, captured in 1911, we witness Dorothea's skill, determination, and grace as she engages in various tennis matches. The photographs not only depict her impressive shots but also capture the essence of the game during that era. Dorothea's powerful forehand, precise backhand, and agile footwork are on full display, revealing the athleticism required to excel in tennis more than a century ago. The vintage setting of these portraits transports us back to the early 20th century, where the sporting landscape was vastly different from today. Dorothea's elegant attire, including her long skirts and high collars, adds to the authenticity of the era. These images serve as a testament to Dorothea's unwavering dedication and her significant contributions to women's tennis. The photographs, sourced from the ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, offer a unique glimpse into the past and provide valuable insight into the history of women's tennis during the 1910s. These captivating portraits not only celebrate Dorothea's achievements but also remind us of the rich heritage and evolution of this beloved sport.
