EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of respite amidst the bustling city life of St. Petersburg in 1900. The image showcases a group of city dwellers, both young and old, taking a break from an intense tennis match. In the foreground, we see men and women dressed in elegant attire, engrossed in conversation while holding their racquets with anticipation for the game to resume. A young girl stands beside them, her eyes filled with curiosity as she observes the players' every move. The scene is not complete without the presence of adorable dogs frolicking around their owners' feet, adding an element of playfulness to this snapshot of leisurely pastime. It's evident that these furry companions are cherished members of these families. Amidst the grandeur and sophistication that defines St. Petersburg, this photo reminds us that even in such cosmopolitan settings, moments of relaxation and camaraderie can be found. The juxtaposition between refined elegance and casual repose creates a charming contrast within this frame. Captured by an anonymous Russian photographer from the 20th century, this timeless image transports us back to a bygone era where sportsmanship was celebrated amongst friends and family alike. As we gaze upon this historic print today, it serves as a gentle reminder to cherish those moments when we too take breaks from our busy lives to enjoy simple pleasures with loved ones – just like these residents did over a century ago in St. Petersburg.
