A woman in a straw boater waits with her racquet. Behind her, the Kenwood clubhouse rises in orange and terracotta above the players on court. Edward Penfield (1866 to 1925) designed the poster in 1896 for the Western Lawn Tennis Tournament at the Kenwood Country Club in Chicago. He was art director at Harper's Magazine at the time.
On the poster
The woman is poised with her tennis racquet. The clubhouse architecture rises behind her, and tennis players move across the court in the background. The forms are simplified and the colour is flat.
