EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of tennis. Taken in 1887 on the Casino Courts in Newport, Rhode Island, it showcases an intense match between two skilled players - Richard Dudley Dick Sears from the United States and Thomas Petit from Great Britain. The image transports us back to a time when tennis was still evolving as a popular sport. The late 19th century setting is evident through the attire of both players and spectators alike. With their long-sleeved shirts, trousers, and straw hats, they exude elegance even amidst fierce competition. The well-maintained lawn court with its neatly drawn lines adds to the charm of this photograph. A net stretches across the middle, separating Sears and Petit as they engage in an athletic battle for victory. The presence of umbrellas held by some spectators suggests that this match took place under sunny skies. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the excitement emanating from both players and crowd alike. This tournament at Newport's prestigious Casino Courts must have been quite an event for sports enthusiasts back then. With its historical significance and artistic composition, this print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of tennis as a beloved game played across borders. It reminds us that even over a century ago, athletes like Richard Dudley Dick Sears were already making their mark on international sporting competitions – paving the way for future generations of tennis champions.
