EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1890, we are transported back in time to witness the elegance and grace of Miss Rice, a tennis player during the late 19th century. The image, captured by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, showcases Miss Rice's poise as she prepares to strike the ball with precision. This vintage print is part of a private collection and holds historical significance as it was later used as an illustration for A Wallis Myers' book "Fifty Years of Wimbledon" published in 1926. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the world's most prestigious tennis tournaments. The composition beautifully captures both the intensity and tranquility associated with this beloved sport. As Miss Rice focuses on her next move, we can almost feel her determination radiating through the lens. The attention to detail highlights not only her skill but also emphasizes the importance placed on proper attire during that era. This photograph is a true treasure for sports enthusiasts and history buffs alike. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when tennis was still considered a parlour game rather than today's globally celebrated professional sport. Through this image, we are reminded of how far tennis has come while appreciating its timeless appeal that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
