Good-bye Summer - A Tale of Love and Tennis in the Edwardian Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
This book cover, hailing from the early 1900s, transports us back to a time of grace and elegance - the Edwardian period. The image showcases an enchanting moment in the waning days of summer as a refined couple engages in a spirited game of tennis on a lush, green lawn. The sun casts a warm, golden glow upon the scene, the gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the nearby trees, while the couple's attire - complete with long skirts, collared shirts, and straw hats - is a testament to the fashion of the era. Their focused expressions and determined body language convey the intensity of their match, a friendly competition that reflects the spirit of leisure and camaraderie that defined the Edwardian summer. The racket in the man's hand and the ball poised in the woman's, along with the net dividing them, serve as a reminder of the game's rules and the unspoken bond between the players. "Good-bye Summer" is a poignant title that encapsulates the bittersweet nature of the season's end and the anticipation of the changing seasons. This book cover not only invites us to imagine the story that lies within its pages but also offers a glimpse into a bygone era of love, tennis, and the simple pleasures of an Edwardian summer.
