EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1913, showcases the excitement and allure of the new dance craze that swept across the world: the Tango. Miss Myrtle Tannehill, also known as Mrs. Hale Hamilton, and Mr. Arthur Collins are seen here engaged in an animated practice session on a picturesque tennis court. The elegant couple, dressed in their finest attire, exude a sense of fun and playfulness as they master the sultry moves of this Argentine dance. The Tango had made its way from the streets of Buenos Aires to the ballrooms of Europe and America, igniting a cultural phenomenon. Its passionate and expressive nature was a stark contrast to the more reserved dance styles of the time, making it a sensation among the young and daring. The setting of the tennis court adds an unexpected twist to the traditional image of the Tango, highlighting the adaptability and versatility of the dance. The lush greenery and sunlit surroundings create a serene backdrop, adding to the overall charm of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the power of dance as a form of leisure and entertainment, transcending social norms and bringing people together in the shared joy of movement. The captivating image of Miss Tannehill and Mr. Collins, lost in the moment as they practise their Tango steps, is a reminder of the enduring appeal of dance and the role it plays in our history and cultural heritage.
