EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically to the year 1890. It captures a thrilling singles lawn tennis match at the Campbell-Slocum contest held at the prestigious Newport Casino in Newport, Rhode Island. The engraving showcases two skilled American athletes engaged in an intense battle on the court. The image transports us to a time when tennis was still gaining popularity as a sport in America. The players are dressed elegantly in traditional attire of that era, with their long-sleeved shirts and trousers. A net separates them as they fiercely compete for victory. Surrounded by spectators, this snapshot offers a glimpse into early tournament culture where fans gathered to witness these exciting matches unfold. One spectator even holds up a parasol, shielding themselves from the sun while engrossed in the game. The Newport Casino itself is an architectural marvel of its time, representing New England's opulence and grandeur during this period. Its presence adds an air of sophistication and prestige to this historic event. This remarkable print serves as both a testament to our sporting heritage and a reminder of how far we have come since then. It encapsulates not only the spirit of competition but also highlights how sports can bring people together across generations.
