    Maj. J.G. Ritchie: 1908 Olympic Tennis Champion Portrait

    $19.95

    This photograph features Major J.G. Ritchie, an accomplished athlete who made his mark in the sport of tennis. Captured in 1908, this image showcases Ritchie at a time when tennis was burgeoning in popularity, particularly with the establishment of major tournaments like Wimbledon. Ritchie’s achievements included winning the Men’s Singles title at the 1908 Olympic Games in London, making him a prominent figure in the early history of tennis competition at the Olympic level.

    Ritchie’s Olympic victory came during a period when tennis was gaining international recognition and was included in the Olympic program for the first time since the modern Games began in 1896. His success not only earned him a place in the annals of Olympic history but also highlighted the evolution of tennis from a leisure activity for the elite to a widely contested sport. The 1908 Games marked a turning point for tennis, as it began to attract a broader audience and talented players from across the globe. This photograph serves as a snapshot of an athlete who helped shape the early landscape of competitive tennis.
