EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "1886, Miss Bingley" takes us back to the 19th century when tennis was just emerging as a popular sport. Captured by an English photographer whose name remains unknown, this print is now part of a private collection. The image showcases Miss Bingley, a graceful and determined player engaged in a game of tennis. Her elegant attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, adding an air of sophistication to the scene. The intensity in her eyes suggests her passion for the sport and her unwavering focus on hitting the ball with precision. This photograph holds historical significance as it was later used as an illustration for A Wallis Myers' book "Fifty Years of Wimbledon" published in 1926. It serves as a testament to how far tennis has come since its early days. The composition beautifully captures not only Miss Bingley's skill but also highlights the simplicity and charm of parlour games during that time period. The blurred background adds depth to the image while keeping our attention firmly fixed on Miss Bingley and her intense gameplay. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's dedication to mastering a sport that would go on to become one of the most beloved worldwide - tennis.
