Content Description

A collection of 31 miscellaneous photographic portraits and group portraits of people in lawn tennis attire and usually holding tennis rackets, probably dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The images include men, women, and children tennis players. Twenty-nine of the photographs are ferrotypes; two are albumen prints (the latter from German studios). The subjects, who vary from image to image, are unidentified; the collection appears to have been artificially assembled. The photographs have been inserted in a period album.
