EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early days of lawn tennis, capturing a moment in history that showcases both skill and elegance. The image features Miss Lottie Dod, a remarkable athlete who dominated the sport during her time. In this particular scene from 1907, we are transported to Wimbledon in 1880. The atmosphere is electric as spectators gather around the court, their umbrellas providing shade from the sun's rays. It is evident that lawn tennis was not just a game but also an event where people came together for entertainment and leisure. Miss Lottie Dod stands confidently on the court, racket in hand, ready to engage in fierce competition. Her Victorian-era dress adds a touch of gracefulness to her athletic prowess. As she prepares to strike the ball with precision and finesse, one can only imagine the intensity of focus on her face. This photograph captures not only a significant moment in sporting history but also reflects societal norms and fashion trends of its time. It serves as a reminder of how sports have evolved over decades while still retaining their essence. As we admire this beautiful piece from The Stapleton Collection, we pay homage to Miss Lottie Dod's incredible achievements - five Wimbledon Ladies Singles Championships between 1887-93 - which solidify her place among tennis legends.
