EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a tranquil moment in time, as a group of elegantly dressed individuals take a break from the excitement of the Moorfield Tennis Club tournament in Stockport, England, in 1913. The serene scene, set against the backdrop of lush greenery and the blue sky, represents a high water mark of English life, just under a year before the tumultuous events of World War One. Dressed in their finest attire, the group members appear relaxed and refined, sipping their tea and engaging in animated conversation. The image transports us back to a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of socializing over a cup of tea and a friendly game of tennis reigned supreme. The Moorfield Tennis Club, with its picturesque setting and sense of community, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of tennis as a beloved sport and a symbol of leisurely pursuits. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into history, inviting us to reflect on the contrast between the calmness of this moment and the impending chaos of the first World War.
