EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to April 1922 at the prestigious Cannes Tennis Club. The focal point of the image is none other than the distinguished King of Sweden himself, positioned fourth from the left in a sea of eager spectators. As he watches intently, his regal presence commands attention amidst a bustling crowd. This monochrome snapshot captures not only a momentous occasion but also offers us a glimpse into European society during the early 20th century. The King's attendance at such an event speaks volumes about his passion for sports and his desire to engage with people beyond royal duties. The photograph exudes an air of elegance and sophistication that was characteristic of Cannes in its heyday. It serves as a reminder of how even members of royalty could find solace in simple pleasures like watching tennis matches alongside commoners. Preserved by Central News, this Europeana photography treasure allows us to delve into history and witness firsthand how societal norms have evolved over time. It reminds us that despite their elevated status, kings too can find joy in shared experiences with ordinary citizens. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured almost a century ago, it sparks curiosity about what other hidden gems lie within our collective pasts waiting to be discovered through photographs like these.
