EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegant world of an Edwardian family preparing for a day of tennis in the early 1900s, as captured in this vintage lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. The scene exudes an air of refinement and leisure, with the family members dressed in their finest attire, ready to engage in this popular pastime of the English upper class. The father, wearing a tailored suit and straw boater hat, stands proudly with a racket in hand, offering words of encouragement to his wife, who dons a flowing dress and sun hat, her racket poised at the ready. Their children, two boys and a girl, eagerly follow suit, each holding a racket and displaying determined expressions. The family's tennis court, surrounded by lush greenery and dotted with colorful flowers, adds to the idyllic setting. The Edwardian era, which spanned from 1901 to 1910, was a time of great social change and cultural development in England. Tennis, which had gained popularity in the late 19th century, became a staple of the English social scene, with many aristocratic families owning their own private courts. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these families, showcasing their love for the sport and their dedication to maintaining their social status through leisure activities. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost hear the sound of the ball being hit back and forth across the court, the laughter of the children, and the friendly banter between family members. A true treasure for those with an appreciation for history, this Edwardian family ready for tennis lantern slide is a must-have addition to any vintage collection.
