LES AVANTS / LAWN TENNIS IN SWITZERLAND. Circa 1904.

40¼x26½ inches, 102¼x67¼ cm. Muller & Trub, Lausanne.
Condition A-: small repaired tears at edges.

Lawn Tennis at Home and Abroad, published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1903, helped precipitate a transition from tennis being a recreational pastime to becoming a tourist pursuit. Les Avants, a winter resort village in Montreux, hosted the Swiss championship tennis tournament in 1904. On this poster, the blank area would have been filled in with information about local tournaments and court times. This is the English version.
