EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of tennis. In 1922, at the new Wimbledon grounds in London, two remarkable women stood side by side before their famous first final. Mrs Mallory, elegant and composed on the left, and Suzanne Lenglen, a French tennis sensation known as "La Divine" exuding confidence on the right. The image showcases not only their contrasting personalities but also their distinct fashion choices. Mrs Mallory dons a stylish coat over her dress, while Suzanne Lenglen stands out with her sports kit attire that reflects her dedication to the game. The print beautifully encapsulates the essence of these two extraordinary athletes who were about to make history. As they prepare to step onto Centre Court for this groundbreaking match, one can almost feel the anticipation in the air. Their determination is palpable; both women are focused on claiming victory in what would become an iconic moment for female athletes around the world. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far women's sports have come since those early days of professional tennis. It symbolizes strength, resilience, and breaking barriers in a male-dominated field. Preserved through time and now available as part of Norah Gordon Cleather's Wimbledon Story collection from 1947, this print allows us to relive that significant event when Mrs Mallory and Suzanne Lenglen etched their names into sporting history forever.
