A fascinating glimpse into the early days of a a sport just getting organized in the United States The United States National Lawn Tennis Association was founded in 1881 at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York City by a group of young players who wished to standardize the rules of the game and promote the sport later in 1920 "National" was dropped and the organization became simply the USLTA. The Rules they adopted eventually became a standard reference for aficionados of the fledgling sport.<br /> All early editions of the Rules of the game are quite rare including this 1886 printing and they can be divided into two groups of titles: those using "Official Rules" and those using "Playing Rules".<br /> According to Phelps & Sabine editions of the THE OFFICIAL LAWN TENNIS RULES AS ADOPTED etc. appeared in 1881 Philadelphia Lippincott and 1882 Boston Wright & Dixon; but no copies of either of these editions is to be found in OCLC which lists however editions of 1885 and 1889 under that title.<br /> Also following Phelps & Sabine THE PLAYING RULES AS ADOPTED etc. was first published in New York in 1884 by Peck & Snyder. OCLC finds only one copy of that edition Brown University; Phelps & Sabine also refer to editions of 1886 this and 1889 -- however no copy of the 1886 edition is described. OCLC locates 3 copies: at St. Johns Yale and NY Public. The Racquet and Tennis CLub Library also holds a copy.<br /> <br /> The first section contains "The Laws of Lawn Tennis" and "The Constitution and By-Laws" of the fledgling Association with a section on "Cases and Decisions" by James Wright; the second section contains the "Rules of Umpires" a discussion of various rackets and balls Peck & Snyder manufacturers and illustrated ads for footwear lawn markers nets tennis paraphernalia etc. Finally there is a list of over 40 Clubs belonging to the Association including the "Cheynenne Lawn Tennis Club" in Wyoming with 50 members.<br /> <br /> Copies of any of these USLTA incunabula are quite rare and when found quite fragile.

94499The surface of the photograph is slightly scuffed but otherwise it is in excellent condition. The original contrasting-colour double mount is a little foxed in the light-coloured panel adjacent to the image and the main board is a little worn at the corners and lightly tidemarked along the bottom edge. Undated but probably 1900 give-or-take; the photographer individuals depicted and the location are unidentified but it is probably 'somewhere in South Australia'. We'll let the subject - uncommon enough in our experience - and the image speak for themselves. unknown
26905Wimbledon 1927. 1 tirage 115 x 170 mm dans l'encadrement 280 x 335 mm monté sur carton floqué du logo Lacoste. . Signé par René Lacoste à l'encre noire. . René Lacoste l'un des « Quatre Mousquetaires » du tennis français avec Henri Cochet Jean Borotra et Jacques Brugnon a remporté la Coupe Davis pour la France en 1927 et 1928. Sur le plan individuel il a remporté à trois reprises les Internationaux de France de tennis 1925 1927 1929 deux fois le tournoi de Wimbledon 1925 1928 et deux fois l'US Open 1926 1927. Il fut désigné meilleur joueur du monde en 1926 et 1927. René Lacoste est évidemment connu pour ses activités d'industriel et particulièrement pour la marque de textile portant son nom dont le logo est un crocodile. Son surnom « le crocodile » the Alligotor lui fut attribué par la presse américaine à la suite d'un pari qu'il aurait fait en 1923 avec Allan Muhr alors capitaine de l'équipe de Coupe Davis à Boston. Lacoste aurait craqué sur une superbe malle en alligator dans la vitrine d'une boutique. Allan Muhr voyant l'intérêt de acoste pour cet objet lui aurait proposé ce pari : s'il remporte un match décisif la malle est à lui. Le match fut perdu mais l'anecdote du pari remonta jusqu'à un journaliste qui décida de surnommer Lacoste The Alligator ce qualificatif rappelant aussi qu'il était un joueur tenace « qui ne lâchait jamais sa proie ». S'inspirant du surnom donné à Lacoste Robert George dessine alors un crocodile qu'il fait broder en 46 couleurs sur le blazer blanc que porte en avant match Lacoste au niveau de la poche. Cette photographie prise à Wimbledon en 1927 est l'un des plus célèbres du joueur arborant ce fameux blazer. Six ans plus tard après avoir mis un terme à sa carrière il lance avec André Gillier le leader de la bonneterie française la marque Lacoste une collection de polos principalement destinée aux joueurs de tennis et aux golfeurs. Habitués à porter une chemise aristocratique à manches les joueurs de tennis vont rapidement se laisser convaincre par le caractère à la fois sportif et élégant de ces nouvelles tenues. Ce logo à usage personnel devient vite le symbole de la marque. Le logo varie selon les tailles et couleurs avant que Lacoste ne tranche pour un petit crocodile vert à écailles blanches gueule ouverte et rouge. Qui ne connaîtra aucune variation jusqu'en 2011 où le logo subit une légère refonte. [Wimbledon, 1927]. 1 tirage (115 x 170 mm) dans l'encadrement (280 x 335 mm) monté sur carton, floqué du logo Lacoste. unknown

1900200841900. Women's tennis archive early 1900s to late 1930s documents female athletic participation across childhood portraiture illustrated popular culture press coverage and competitive play. The group is important for the history of women's sports because it records how women and girls were pictured entering a game that moved from elite recreation into organized competition during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The official history of Wimbledon notes that the Championships added Ladies' Singles in 1884 establishing one of the most visible formal venues for women's tennis and this archive preserves the visual culture that developed in the decades after that institutional change.<br /> <br /> The archive consists of ten visual items dated from the early 1900s to the late 1930s: three silver gelatin photographs one albumen cabinet card five brightly illustrated postcards and one real photo postcard with sizes ranging from approximately 1.75 x 2.75 inches to 6.5 x 8.5 inches. The largest press photograph dated 1933 shows Helen Jacobs in action and identifies her in the attached release as America's "outstanding woman athlete." Another press image shows four female champions standing side by side before a packed Wimbledon stadium with a newspaper article taped to the verso noting their scores. The earliest image an albumen cabinet card shows a little girl holding a small tennis racket while one illustrated postcard presents a co-ed trio on a tennis court in the early twentieth century. The remaining postcards and photographs extend the archive's range from playful and decorative representations of tennis to more direct evidence of women's organized competition. Half of the postcards bear handwritten inscriptions on the verso and two of the three press photographs retain original article clippings taped to the back.<br /> <br /> Taken together the group shows the changing public image of women's tennis from carefully posed early depictions shaped by restrictive dress codes to 1930s press photography centered on speed competition and celebrity. The official Wimbledon history also notes that equal prize money for men and women was not adopted there until 2007 a reminder that the athletic visibility seen in these images long preceded full institutional parity. Light handling wear overall with typical age toning and minor surface wear; inscriptions and verso attachments remain present; overall very good. Varied and visually engaging archive for the study of women's athletics press representation and the long development of competitive tennis culture. unknown
