EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grace and elegance of Miss Martha Wyeth as she engages in a spirited tennis match during the 1913 tournament. The image, taken during the early 1900s in the United States, showcases Martha's impeccable tennis attire, consisting of a long-sleeved blouse and a full, pleated skirt, both in crisp white fabric. Her hair is neatly tied back, allowing her focused gaze to be fully on the tennis ball as she prepares to serve. The photograph, from the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the evolving role of women in society during this era. Martha's participation in a competitive sport such as tennis was a significant departure from traditional gender roles, highlighting her independence and athletic prowess. The photograph was likely taken at a country club or tennis court, with the lush greenery and well-manicured surroundings adding to the refined atmosphere. The use of a glass negative process further enhances the image's timeless quality, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical photographs or Americana. Miss Martha Wyeth's tennis outfit serves as a reminder of the fashion trends of the time, with long-sleeved blouses and full skirts being popular choices for women's tennis apparel. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and heritage of tennis in America during the 1910s.
