EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era as we present this image of Lewis in action at a lawn tennis championship. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the Edwardian period, Lewis exudes confidence and determination as he focuses intently on the upcoming point. The vintage setting of the tournament is beautifully captured through the use of a lantern slide, transporting us back to an era of elegance and refinement. Lawn tennis had gained immense popularity during the late 19th century, and championships such as this one attracted the cream of society. The game required a great deal of skill, agility, and finesse, making it a favorite pastime for the affluent classes. The pristine white outfits, racket in hand, and the lush green lawn create a striking contrast against the vibrant colors of the spectators' outfits, adding to the charm of this vintage photograph. The lantern slide, an early form of visual presentation, captures the essence of the era with its intricate details and rich colors. The image invites us to imagine the excitement and anticipation that filled the air as Lewis prepared to serve, the crowd holding their breath in suspense. The vintage feel of the photograph, with its soft focus and warm tones, transports us to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of lawn tennis during the Victorian period.
