Serve and Volley - Florence Sutton in Her Element
EDITORS COMMENTS
Between c1910 and c1915, American tennis sensation Florence E. Sutton (1883-1974) was at the height of her game. This black-and-white photograph captures the talented sportswoman in action on a sun-drenched tennis court. Dressed to impress in her crisp white dress and matching hat, Sutton is fully focused on the match, racket poised for a powerful serve.
As one of America's top female players during this era, Sutton was known for her exceptional skills and competitive spirit. Her impressive record included several national championships and appearances at international tournaments. This photograph not only showcases her athleticism but also highlights her elegance and poise under pressure.
Taken by the renowned Bain News Service, a pioneer in photographic journalism, this image is a testament to the growing popularity of tennis among women during the early 20th century. As Sutton's racket slices through the air, we are transported back to an era when sports were becoming increasingly accessible and aspirational for young women like her.
This striking print not only celebrates Florence Sutton's achievements on and off the court but also serves as a powerful reminder of the significant role that women played in shaping America's sporting landscape during this pivotal period.
