Golf/Wimbledon/Renshaw/Women. Under a superb... - Lot 188 - Vermot et Associés
Golf/Wimbledon/Renshaw/Women. Under a superb frame (35x41), a beautiful colored woodcut (18x24) : "Some English Lawn-Tennis Players". In fact a gallery of the first great champions of Wimbledon. They are eight, six men and two ladies, giving an idea of the dress, and thus of the fashion of the years 1885 : white is compulsory, the belt and the long pants too, but one can have golf pants, a jacket, or a light pink blouse. Next to W.Renshaw (right), irremovable champion from 1881 to 1884, we discover M.Brown (with cap), Reverend Hartley (champion 1879-80), CW Greewood, with jacket, and HF Lawford, the Irishman, gold medal in 1884. Among the ladies, Maud Watson (the lady champion) standing, splendid, and perhaps her sister sitting.
