EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1922, showcases the elegant and historic Princes Club Racquet Courts located at Hans Place in Belgrave Square, London. Established in 1857, this private gentleman's club was designed by the renowned architect, Mr. B. Burton, and featured three racquet courts, one of which is depicted in this image. The court is adorned with tall, arched windows that allow natural light to filter in, creating an inviting atmosphere. The gallery, partially visible in the background, adds an air of sophistication and exclusivity. The Princes Club was a popular destination for the aristocracy and high society during the 1850s and beyond. Racquet sports, such as rackets, were a favorite pastime of the elite, providing an opportunity for friendly competition and social interaction. The club's elegant interior, with its high ceilings, ornate columns, and intricate detailing, reflects the opulence and refinement of the era. The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this esteemed institution. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the lively debates, heated matches, and camaraderie that once filled the hallowed halls of the Princes Club Racquet Courts.
