EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in sporting history - the exhibition tennis match featuring the King and Queen of Portugal. Taken on 5th July 1926 at Lady Wavertree exhibition tennis held at Sussex Lodge, Regents Park, this image showcases not only the royal couple but also Lord D Abernon and Vincent Richards. The atmosphere is electric as spectators gather around the court to witness this extraordinary event. The King and Queen exude elegance and grace as they engage in a friendly game of tennis, their regal attire contrasting against the pristine white lines of the court. Lord D Abernon stands tall beside them, his presence adding an air of importance to the scene. Vincent Richards, a renowned American tennis player, is also present alongside his wife Mrs Vincent Richards. Their inclusion adds an international flair to this already illustrious gathering. This photograph transports us back to a bygone era - Europe between two world wars - where leisure activities such as tennis provided moments of respite from political turmoil. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, people found solace in sports and entertainment. Preserved through time by Central News, this monochrome image offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing both its artistic beauty and cultural significance.
