EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Mr. Lewis, Lawn Tennis Match," is an exquisite piece from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available through Mary Evans Prints Online. The image transports us back in time to the late Victorian or Edwardian era, as evidenced by the elegant attire and the use of a lantern slide. The photograph features a focused and determined Mr. Lewis, who stands at the ready on the lush, emerald-green lawn tennis court. His crisp, white tennis outfit, complete with a long-sleeved shirt, knickers, and a wide-brimmed hat, is a testament to the formal dress code of the time. His opponent, out of the frame, is likely dressed similarly. The tennis racket in Mr. Lewis's hand, with its intricately designed wooden handle and large, tightly strung head, is a striking contrast to the modern, lightweight rackets used today. The net, which separates the two players, is taut and well-maintained, and the tennis balls, arranged neatly in a basket nearby, are a reminder of the game's traditional elements. The photograph's composition is expertly balanced, with the diagonal lines of the tennis court and the players' postures creating a sense of depth and movement. The warm, golden light filtering through the trees adds a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, making this image a beautiful addition to any vintage or tennis-themed collection. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the history of lawn tennis but also serves as a reminder of the elegance and grace that once defined the sport. The Keasbury-Gordon Archive's meticulous preservation of this image ensures that future generations can continue to appreciate the rich history and charm of this bygone era.
