Lawn tennis doubles, 1919

Negative no.A917. 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 of the men are in the far court (one close to the net, the other in the back court), while one man is positioned in the near court, close to the net. The fourth player is not visible but may be in the backcourt on the right out of the photographer's range. Spectators watch from the sidelines 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.
