Photography — 1960
Checking the programme
An elderly lady sits reading her official souvenir programme at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Championships in Wimbledon, on the first day of the tournament, 1960. Collins produced a series of documentary photographs at the Championships that year, capturing individuals amongst the spectators rather than the tournament itself. The tightly cropped composition and the contrasting patterns make this a particularly striking photograph.
