The title names a tennis match-up, "Rice and Doust," which suggests a doubles pairing or two players photographed together, though the caption is unverified and the record gives no date. George Grantham Bain founded his New York agency in 1899 to supply news photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives, mostly from the early 1900s through the 1910s, record sports, celebrities and daily events. Sports images like this one show the dress, equipment and photographic conventions of the period, when tennis was a popular subject for news cameras.
