EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Columbia Country Club - Tennis Courts, 1917," captures the essence of leisure and recreation in the early 20th century United States. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, depicts a serene scene of the Columbia Country Club tennis courts in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Established in 1891, the Columbia Country Club has a rich history and was known as a prestigious social and athletic club in the Washington, D.C. area. In this photograph, we see several tennis players engaged in a friendly match, their white outfits and focused expressions embodying the spirit of competition and enjoyment. The tennis courts, surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful trees, are situated in a picturesque outdoor setting, providing a tranquil backdrop for the players. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha S. Ewing, who founded Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio in 1912. The studio, which was later renamed Harris Ewing Inc., became a prominent fixture in Washington, D.C. and produced numerous photographs for commercial and personal use. This particular image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the beauty and charm of a bygone era. The photograph also highlights the role of tennis as a popular pastime and profession, with Martha Ewing Newcombe and Martha Kuntze, both prominent tennis players, among the many individuals who graced the Columbia Country Club tennis courts. Overall, this image is a testament to the enduring appeal of tennis and the importance of community and recreation in our lives.
