EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Tom White, a veteran professional of the Royal Real Tennis Club at Hampton Court in Surrey, during the early 1900s. The image, taken in 1903 by renowned photographer Terry Parker, showcases Tom's unwavering focus and expertise as he prepares for a game of real tennis, an elite and historic racket sport that originated in the 15th century. Tom's distinguished appearance, with his neatly trimmed whiskers and formal attire, perfectly embodies the Edwardian era in which he lived. Real tennis, also known as court tennis, is a complex and challenging game played within an enclosed court with high walls. It requires exceptional agility, precision, and quick reflexes, making Tom's dedication and skill all the more impressive. The Royal Real Tennis Club at Hampton Court, founded by King Henry VIII, is renowned for its rich history and tradition. Tom White's long tenure as a professional at this prestigious club speaks to his mastery of the game and his commitment to preserving its legacy. This photograph is not only a testament to Tom's athletic prowess but also a fascinating glimpse into the history of real tennis and the Edwardian era.
