EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Columbia Country Club - Tennis Courts, 1917," captures the essence of leisure and elegance during the early 20th century in the United States. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases the picturesque tennis courts of the prestigious Columbia Country Club located in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Established in 1895, Columbia Country Club has a rich history and was known for its beautiful grounds and exclusive membership. In this photograph, we see several tennis players in their formal attire, engaged in a friendly match on the pristine clay courts. The players are surrounded by lush greenery, adding to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. The studio, which was founded in 1912, was a prominent fixture in Washington D.C. and is now part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. This image is a testament to the studio's ability to capture the spirit of the time and the joy of outdoor activities like tennis. The tennis courts at Columbia Country Club were a popular destination for members of the community, providing an escape from the daily grind and a chance to engage in a pastime that was both fashionable and physically demanding. The photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of leisure and the role it plays in our lives, even during challenging times. This image is not only a valuable historical document but also an artistic masterpiece that showcases the beauty of the game of tennis and the allure of the country club lifestyle in the early 1900s.
