EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative silhouette photograph, the enigmatic figure of Helen Wills Moody, an American tennis legend, emerges against the radiant backdrop of the French Riviera. Captured in 1922 by the renowned British photographer, Captain H.L. Oakley, for The Bystander magazine, this image encapsulates the allure and mystique of a sporting icon in her prime. Known as "Little Miss Poker Face," Helen Wills Moody (1905-1998) was a formidable force on the tennis court, amassing a remarkable eight Wimbledon titles between 1920 and 1938. Her unwavering focus and unreadable expression on the court earned her this moniker, as her opponents often found it impossible to gauge her intentions or predict her next move. In this photograph, Moody is depicted in her distinctive attire, including her iconic sun visor, which became a symbol of her determination and resilience. The silhouette format emphasizes her athletic form and the dynamic tension between her powerful stance and the tranquil Mediterranean landscape behind her. This image, taken during Oakley's visit to Monte Carlo and Cannes early in 1922, offers a rare glimpse into the life of one of the most influential women in the history of tennis. As the 1920s roared on, Moody's dominance on the court continued, leaving an indelible mark on the sport and inspiring generations of tennis players to come.
