Lawn tennis doubles, 1919

Negative no.A903. August 9, 1919. Image depicts men playing doubles tennis, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Two men are in the far court (one is in the backcourt, in the left background) and a third man is in the near court. The fourth player is presumably out of camera range on the right. The man in the near court has his right arm pulled back, about to return the ball. Some spectators watch from the far side of the court in the background. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer, were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces and company events, in addition to employment.
