EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the George Garland Collection, we are transported back to the vibrant world of tennis in the 1920s. The image showcases a dashing tennis player, dressed immaculately in his crisp whites, leaning casually against a tennis net. With a racquet firmly gripped in one hand and three pristine balls held delicately in the other, he exudes an aura of confidence and skill. The setting for this nostalgic snapshot is none other than Petworth House, adding an air of grandeur to an already remarkable scene. As we gaze upon this sportsman frozen in time, it's impossible not to be captivated by his effortless poise and timeless style. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of sport throughout history. It transports us back to an era when tennis was more than just a game; it was a symbol of elegance and refinement. We can almost hear the satisfying thwack of ball meeting racquet as we imagine ourselves amidst cheering crowds on sun-drenched courts. Preserved with care at West Sussex Record Office, this treasured piece offers us a glimpse into our sporting heritage. It reminds us that while times may change and fashions evolve, there will always be something magical about witnessing moments like these – where passion meets precision on hallowed grounds like Petworth House.
