EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph from the 1920s, a sporty French tennis girl prepares to serve with an intense focus and determination in her eyes. Dressed in a stylish yet practical attire, she dons a pink woollen jumper top, a tie, and a thick bonnet to keep warm during the chilly tennis court session. The soft focus and studio setting add an elegant and timeless touch to the image. The tennis racket is poised in her right hand, the ball tucked under her left arm, ready to be launched towards the opponent's side of the court. The contrast between her serious expression and the playful nature of the sport is intriguing, highlighting the mental and physical demands of tennis. Despite the fashionable yet functional outfit, one cannot help but wonder if her choice of clothing might cause her to overheat by the second set. The 1920s were known for their unique fashion trends, and this tennis player embodies the era's sporty and stylish spirit. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of tennis, as well as the resilience and grace of the sportswomen who graced the courts during that era. It is a reminder that fashion and function can coexist, and that the love for the game transcends time and trends.
