EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the archives, a determined female tennis player takes a moment's respite between sets to enjoy the calming ritual of smoking a Craven A cigarette. The image, captured in 1939, transports us back to a bygone era when smoking was a common sight on the sports field. The player, dressed in a stylish white tennis outfit and holding her racket, exudes an air of grace and composure as she puffs on her Craven A, her expression thoughtful and focused. The scene is set against the backdrop of a lush, green tennis court, with the sun casting dappled shadows across the grass. The photograph, a testament to the enduring allure of both tennis and smoking, invites us to reflect on the complex relationship between sports, leisure, and personal habits in the 1930s. The player's relaxed posture and the delicate smoke curling up from her cigarette suggest a sense of pleasure and enjoyment, yet the image also raises questions about the potential health consequences of smoking, which were not yet fully understood at the time. Overall, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing a moment of quiet reflection and relaxation amidst the intensity of a tennis match.
