EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1930s, the Duchess of York, later known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother (1900-2002), is seen enjoying a day at the Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon with American tennis champion Helen Wills Moody (1905-1998). The Duchess, who was the wife of the Duke of York and the future monarch of the United Kingdom, is dressed elegantly in a long-sleeved white blouse and a flowing skirt, accessorized with a hat and gloves. She is seen holding a pair of sunglasses in her hand, shielding her eyes from the sun. Behind the Duchess stands Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein (1872-1956), who adds an air of regal sophistication to the scene. The focus of the photograph, however, is on the two women in the foreground. Helen Wills Moody, a professional tennis player and a dominant force in women's tennis during the 1920s and 1930s, is dressed in a white tennis outfit and is holding her tennis racquet. She is seen looking intently at the Duchess, perhaps sharing a moment of camaraderie or discussing tennis strategy. The Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, which began in 1877, is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. The Duchess's attendance at the event in 1935 reflects her interest in sports and her support for women's tennis. The photograph captures a moment of leisure and relaxation for these two influential women, showcasing their shared love for the game and their grace and elegance both on and off the court.
