This striking photograph, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1917, showcases the picturesque Columbia Country Club tennis courts in Chevy Chase, Maryland, United States. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, where leisure and recreation were cherished pastimes. The tennis courts, surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees, exude an aura of tranquility and elegance. Players in crisp white attire are engaged in a friendly match, their focused expressions and determined stances reflecting the intensity of the game. The glass negatives, carefully preserved in the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offer a fascinating glimpse into the heritage and history of this esteemed country club. Columbia Country Club, founded in 1892, has been a cornerstone of the Bethesda and Chevy Chase neighborhoods for over a century. The tennis courts, a popular attraction for members, have been a symbol of community and camaraderie. This photograph, taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, captures the essence of a bygone era, where the simple joy of playing tennis brought people together. The image also pays homage to the legacy of Martha Kuntze Newcombe, a prominent tennis player who was a member of the club during the 1910s. Her dedication and passion for the sport left an indelible mark on the history of Columbia Country Club and tennis in the United States. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of tennis and the rich heritage of this esteemed country club.
