EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Fearnley Whittingstall, née Eileen Bennett, was a formidable tennis player from the United Kingdom who dominated women's doubles tennis in the late 1920s and early 1930s. In this striking photograph taken in 1931, the 24-year-old Mrs Whittingstall is seen holding her tennis raquets with a confident and determined expression on her face. The sun casts a warm glow over her as she dons a stylish visor to shield her eyes from the bright light. The vibrant colors of her tennis outfit and the contrasting white lines of the court create a dynamic and energetic scene, capturing the essence of the sport in the 1930s. Mrs Whittingstall went on to win six Grand Slam doubles titles between 1927 and 1931, cementing her place in tennis history. This image is a testament to her skill, determination, and the grace and elegance of women's tennis in the thirties.
