EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Jay Gould II, an American tennis legend, in 1908 during the height of his illustrious career. Born into the prominent Gould family, Jay was the grandson of the renowned railroad magnate Jay Gould. However, Jay's passion lay not in the family business but in the world of sports, specifically tennis. At the tender age of 22, Jay made history by winning the National Amateur Championship of America in 1906. His success continued as he became the world champion from 1914 to 1916. This image was taken during his most celebrated moment, when he brought home the Olympic gold medal from the London Games of 1908, under the name "jeu de paume." The First World War interrupted Jay's tennis career, but his legacy as a trailblazer in the sport remained unshaken. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the era, Jay exudes confidence and determination, embodying the spirit of a champion. This evocative photograph not only showcases Jay's athletic prowess but also offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the rich history and tradition of tennis and its prominent figures.
