EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense spirit of the Davis France USA Cup's double match finalists. The image showcases four legendary tennis players, each with their own unique style and prowess on the court. From left to right, we see Jean Borotra, famously known as the Basque jumping. His dynamic energy and agility are evident in his posture, ready to leap into action. Next to him stands Henri Cochet, aptly nicknamed "the magician" for his ability to conjure up incredible shots that mesmerize spectators. On the other side of the net stand two formidable American opponents. William Tatem "Bill". Tilden exudes confidence and determination in his stance, while Francis Hunter emanates a sense of focus and precision. The composition beautifully captures both the individuality of each player and their collective strength as competitors vying for victory. Their expressions reveal a mix of concentration, anticipation, and perhaps even a touch of rivalry. Taken by Louis Meurisse for VU magazine's cover back in 1928 under director Lucien Vogel's guidance, this photograph is an iconic piece from that era. Preserved within the Selva Collection today, it serves as a testament to these tennis legends' enduring legacy. Leonard de Selva has skillfully reproduced this historic image with utmost respect for its artistic value. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be transported back to that momentous day when these athletes battled it out on center court.
