Published on July 4th, 2017
As the nation once again suffers from a heady case of Wimbledon fever, we turn to the Archive and present to you a special selection of tennis-themed images. The earliest photograph of people playing tennis we found was taken on a Newquay beach in 1887, with the players in many layers of formal clothing. Join us through the decades all the way to 1960s and the iconic All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon.
