EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1890, capturing a historic moment in tennis history. The image showcases the conclusion of a thrilling semi-final men's singles match at the prestigious Newport Casino in Newport, Rhode Island. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the Gilded Age, we are transported to an era where elegance and leisure reigned supreme. The crowd is abuzz with excitement as spectators, predominantly from the upper class, gather around the court. Men donning boater hats and women shielding themselves from the sun with stylish parasols create a picturesque scene against the backdrop of this grand building. The late 19th-century architecture adds to its charm. Intriguingly, amidst all this splendor lies a single player on center stage - his intense focus evident even in stillness. This photograph captures not only a sporting event but also serves as a glimpse into society during that time period. As we admire this piece of history frozen in time, it reminds us of how far tennis has come since those early days. It represents more than just a sport; it symbolizes an era marked by opulence and refinement while showcasing human determination and skill.
