EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in July 1915 by William Davis Hassler, showcases two young men engaged in a thrilling game of tennis on an unidentified clay court at night. The image, part of the collection held by the New-York Historical Society in the USA, captures a moment frozen in time. Under the glow of floodlights that illuminate their surroundings, these athletic figures exude determination and passion for their sport. Their silhouettes against the dark backdrop create a striking contrast that adds to the overall mystique of this snapshot from history. The composition highlights not only the intensity of their play but also emphasizes the beauty and elegance inherent in tennis. As they maneuver across the clay court with grace and agility, it becomes evident that this is more than just a casual game; it is an exhibition of skill and athleticism. Intriguingly, we are left to wonder about these young men's identities as they remain anonymous within this frame. However, what remains certain is their shared love for tennis which transcends time and connects them to present-day enthusiasts. Hassler's masterful photography immortalizes this nighttime match forever - capturing both its energy and serenity simultaneously. This timeless image serves as a reminder that sports have always been an integral part of human life - providing moments of joy, competition, camaraderie, and escape throughout history.
