EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the essence of lady tennis players in the early 1900s, a time when the sport was just beginning to gain popularity among women in England. The image, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to an era of elegance and grace, as the ladies don their long skirts and lace-up shoes, ready to engage in a friendly match. The scene is set on a lush, green lawn, with the players poised at the edge of the court, their concentration focused on the upcoming serve. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, illuminating the ladies' delicate features and the intricate details of their outfits. In the background, a Victorian-era house can be seen, adding to the sense of nostalgia and history. One player holds a lantern slide, perhaps to check the position of the sun for the timing of her serve, while another adjusts her hat, ensuring her hair is neatly tucked away. The ladies' expressions are serious yet playful, reflecting their determination to win while maintaining their refined demeanor. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of tennis as a sport and the timeless beauty of women's fashion in the early 1900s. It invites us to appreciate the simple joys of a bygone era and the grace and elegance of these lady tennis players.
