EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elated moment of American tennis champion, May Sutton (later known as May Godfrey Sutton Bundy), following her hard-earned victory in the tennis courts of the early 20th century. Dated back to 1907, this image immortalizes the spirit of determination and grace that defined Sutton's illustrious career. Born on July 23, 1886, in New York City, May Sutton quickly rose to prominence in the world of tennis. Her exceptional skills and unwavering dedication earned her numerous accolades, including the U.S. National Women's Singles Championship title in 1903 and 1905. Sutton's prowess extended beyond her home country, as she also excelled on the international stage, reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon in 1905. In this photograph, Sutton is seen wearing the fashionable Edwardian attire that was customary for tennis players during the era. The high collar, long sleeves, and voluminous skirt of her blouse, coupled with the pleated skirt and lace-up shoes, perfectly encapsulate the elegance and sophistication of the time. The triumphant expression on her face, combined with her clenched fist and raised racket, symbolizes her unyielding spirit and unwavering commitment to her sport. May Sutton's impact on tennis extended far beyond her impressive record on the court. She paved the way for future generations of female tennis players, inspiring them with her tenacity, grace, and groundbreaking achievements. This photograph serves as a testament to her enduring legacy and the indelible mark she left on the world of tennis during the first decades of the 20th century.
