Summary
This photograph depicts two men playing tennis while two women watch. The women appear to be wearing lightweight, long-sleeved shirtwaists with long skirts and wide-brimmed hats while the men are dressed in collared shirts and trousers. It is unclear where this photograph was taken.
The photographs in this collection were taken by the Reverend Frederic Charles Hall (1878-1926) during the period 1902-1909 when he was the Anglican Curate appointed to Georgetown in North Queensland. Hall's foremost hobby was photography. He used both a half-plate camera with tripod made by J. Lancaster & Son, Birmingham and a quarter-plate Austral No. 3 made by the Australian company, Baker & Rouse. Glass negatives from Ilford and Austral were used; developing was done by the photographer himself and printing by exposure to sunlight.
