EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the grace and elegance of British tennis player Eileen Bennett, as she is depicted on the front cover of The Sketch magazine in January 1929. Born on July 16, 1907, Eileen Bennett, later known as Eileen Whittingstall, was a formidable force in women's tennis during the 1920s. With her partner, Dorothy Shepherd-Barron, she won an impressive six Grand Slam doubles titles between 1927 and 1931. The image showcases Eileen's focused expression and poised stance, as she holds her tennis racquet with both hands. The iconic visor shields her eyes from the sun, a common accessory for tennis players during this era. The simple yet sophisticated design of her outfit, with its high waistline and long sleeves, is reminiscent of the fashion trends of the 1920s. The Sketch, a renowned British publication known for its high-quality illustrations and coverage of society and sports, featured Eileen on its front cover as she was making her mark in the world of tennis. This portrait not only showcases Eileen's athletic prowess but also her timeless beauty and elegance. Eileen's tennis career was a testament to her determination and skill, and her image on the cover of The Sketch serves as a reminder of the golden age of tennis in the 1920s. This photograph is an invaluable piece of sports history and a testament to the enduring allure of tennis as a beloved sport.
