Genteel Harry Lawrence Oakley Racket Raquet Shade Silhouettes Sunny Sunshine Tennis
EDITORS COMMENTS
This silhouette, titled "People Playing Tennis" by Harry Lawrence Oakley, transports us back in time to the sunny afternoons of the 1920s. The image, circa 1920s, depicts a genteel scene of men and women engaged in a friendly tennis match on a lush, green court. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, creating a beautiful contrast between the light and shadow. The silhouetted figures, with their distinct racket poses, exude a sense of grace and elegance, reflecting the refined nature of the sport during this era. The net divides the court in two, as the players focus intently on their game, oblivious to the world around them. The trees in the background add depth and texture to the image, providing a natural backdrop to the tennis court. Tennis, a popular pastime for the affluent during the 1920s, was considered a sophisticated and elegant sport. The use of silhouettes in this photograph adds a unique and timeless quality to the image, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of the scene, while also providing a glimpse into the history and cultural context of the time. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring appeal of tennis and the joy it brings to people, even as the years pass by.
