WESTERN LAWN TENNIS TOURNAMENT. 1896. 26 3/4x18 1/2 inches. Condition B: cracking along horizontal folds; expertly restored losses and overpainting in margins and corners; repaired tears. Depicting fashion, architecture, perspective and sport this is one of Penfield's most impressive posters. It is also most likely the first American tennis poster and could conceivably be amongst the earliest of all tennis posters.
