SUZANNE LENGLEN AND ALAIN GERBAULT, the tennis champion and the sailor, 1920s Photo, vintage silver print Captioned on back Dimensions: 18 x 13 cm Foil very slightly warped, slight stain Note: Photograph featuring Suzanne Lenglen (1899-1938), one of history's greatest tennis champions, and Alain Gerbault (1893-1941), a French sailor famous for his solo crossings. Suzanne Lenglen dominated women's tennis in the 1920s, winning six Wimbledon titles and becoming an international sporting icon.
