Tennis players standing on a court, ca. 1915

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Tennis was becoming popular in the summer of 1903 and the Headmaster, Horace Dixon, decided to erect a roughly put-together net and call it a tennis court. It was outside the Dixon residence, so Horace could keep an eye on the boys whilst he sipped tea on his veranda. Source: www.tss.qld.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/18-Jun-tenn...

    Plus, can't believe that I missed our 2nd Anniversary on Flickr Commons! We launched on 1 June 2011. Would just like to wish us all a very happy anniversary (what's a second anniversary - is it paper?). Thank you all for making this "marriage" lively, interesting and fun. And we almost never shout at each other about map reading! :)

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Congratulations on your COTTON Anniversary - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_anniversary#Traditional_and... Good to see the tennis club in fine cotton too!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia I thank you! And in the bottom row (1st and third left) are sisters(?) in matching crocheted outfits - probably cotton also...
  • Noel McMullan said:
    I think I can see 6 Ladies with wrist watches and 1 Gentleman with a wrist watch and 1 with a pocket watch on a fob.

    Those ladies using croquet hammers would obviously struggle to play tennis with these "bats"! Or was this "Irish Rules" tennis - if your opponent doesn't play fair bop them with a croquet hammer?
