EDITORS COMMENTS
Transporting us back to the golden era of tennis, this print captures three elegant ladies engaged in a spirited match on the grass courts of Carbis Bay Hotel, Lelant. Believed to be taken around 1925, their attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, with flowing dresses and wide-brimmed hats adding an air of sophistication to their sporting pursuits. As they gracefully swing their racquets, one can almost hear the rhythmic thud of ball meeting strings amidst laughter and friendly banter. The setting itself is nothing short of breathtaking – nestled along Cornwall's picturesque coastline near St Ives, Carbis Bay offers a stunning backdrop for these athletic endeavors. The azure sea glistens under the warm sun as gentle waves caress the sandy shore. The rugged cliffs and verdant landscape further enhance this idyllic scene. Though captured by an unknown photographer, this image exudes joyous energy and timeless charm. It serves as a reminder that even in simpler times, sport was not only about competition but also about camaraderie and leisurely recreation. Whether reminiscing about cherished memories or simply admiring its coastal beauty from afar, this print transports us to a bygone era where tennis thrived amidst nature's splendor.
