Lawn tennis doubles, 1919

Negative no.A921. 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, while one leaps into the air to hit an overhand shot in the near court. The fourth player is not visible but may be in the backcourt on the right out of the photographer's range. A number of spectators line 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.
