The tournament
Bellows, George, 1882-1925 · [ca. 1921]
The annual Tennis Tournament at the Newport Casino. [Bill] Tilden and [Bill] Johnston were the outstanding players. No attempt at portraiture was made, the interest being rather in the setting and the spirit of the event. (Bellows) / "The Tournament" and "Tennis" (M. 71) are likely to have been the first prints Bellows did in collaboration with the printer Bolton Brown. Neither of the two tennis prints are listed in the artist's record book. (Mason)
