| Description |
English: Before the 20th century, many people thought that sports were unhealthy for women. Lawn tennis, however, was considered a respectable pastime for women and an acceptable way for men and women to spend time together. In this 1892 photo, two women lawn tennis players rest by the net with their tennis rackets. Their clothing is typical of women's tennis attire of the period: long skirts, fitted blouses with puffed sleeves, small straw hats (called boaters), and gloves or mitts. William Wilcox took the photo in August 1892 at Camp Comfort, near Tacoma. Original photograph: Wilcox, William Holmes, August 1892. Copied after 1975 by the Museum of History and Industry.
