About this photograph

This photograph shows Marjorie Patterson holding a tennis ball in 1929. She was a young woman from a California ranch family. The photographer is not known.

The image comes from the George Patterson House collection. California Revealed digitised the material and made it publicly available. That programme works with libraries, archives, museums and historical societies across California to digitise their holdings, so the shared source tag indicates where the photograph was processed rather than its original location.

The portrait captures a moment in the late 1920s, when tennis had become an established pastime. The archive record identifies Patterson by name but provides no further detail about her life or connection to the sport beyond this single image.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
