EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by William Davis Hassler in July 1915, transports us back in time to a mysterious clay tennis court under the cover of darkness. The high angle view allows us to observe the scene from above, providing a unique perspective on this unidentified location. The absence of any visible players or spectators adds an air of intrigue to the image. We can only imagine the intense matches that must have taken place on this floodlit court, illuminated by powerful floodlights casting long shadows across the surface. The contrast between light and dark creates a dramatic ambiance that heightens our curiosity about what transpired here. The carefully maintained clay court is evidence of its importance as a venue for competitive games. Its smooth surface bears witness to countless hours of play and serves as a testament to the dedication and skill required in mastering this elegant sport. Hassler's expert photography captures not just an ordinary tennis court but also evokes emotions associated with nighttime sports activities. This timeless snapshot reminds us of the thrill and excitement that come with engaging in physical pursuits after sunset – when everything else fades away except for the game at hand. Preserved within the collection of New-York Historical Society, this remarkable print continues to captivate viewers today with its enigmatic beauty and historical significance.
