Description
Photograph of a lit tennis court at night, ca.1940. Brilliant lights illuminate the stretch of the tennis court, which is divided into four recreational sections. The area is surrounded by a wire fence and each section is marked off by interior fences and several benches where spectators sit. While no one is seen playing on the courts, several people sit at the benches. In the background are rows of houses and the lights of the city, which is steeped in darkness. In the foreground is a shadowed mass of foliage.
