This book is a photographic celebration of early lawn tennis, Lawn
tennis in the 19th Century was essentially a game played by the
upper social classes, although some homeowners of moderate income
did build tennis courts on their property. Courts at the large
country manors and estates were established on or near the croquet
lawns and often provided a reasonable surface for play. The courts
of lesser houses often were sloped, had uneven surfaces and
included hazards such as boulders, shrubbery and trees. Players
would wear their ordinary every-day clothes to play a game. The
photographs in this book show a game very different from that of
today. We will look into the faces of these departed people and
enter the sunny landscapes of their distant years. Enjoy your
journey back through time.
