EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colorized print from The Girls Own Annual, dated October 1905, showcases two fashionable lawn tennis costumes of the time. In this image, two young women are depicted on a tennis court, exuding grace and elegance as they engage in a spirited game of tennis. The women's attire reflects the prevailing fashion trends of Edwardian Britain. Their dresses feature high collars and long sleeves, ensuring modesty while allowing for ease of movement during play. The attention to detail is evident in their stylish hats and perfectly coiffed hairstyles – hair neatly pinned up to keep it off their faces during intense rallies. These female athletes embody the spirit of leisurely sportsmanship that was gaining popularity among British women at the turn of the 20th century. Tennis became not only a recreational activity but also an opportunity for socializing and showcasing one's sense of style. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can appreciate how these women embraced both athleticism and fashion with equal enthusiasm. This print serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, female empowerment through sport was alive and well. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of strong-willed individuals who shattered societal norms by pursuing their passions on and off the court.
