ITV News and msnbc.com's David R. Arnott report
The world's oldest tennis tournament enters its 136th year Monday as stars like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams join battle at Wimbledon.
But when the picture above was taken, back in 1921, the names to look out for were Suzanne Lenglen of France and Bill Tilden of the U.S., both of whom would go on to retain the championship that year.
The photograph is among more than 15,000 images from one of the earliest and most significant collections of aerial photography of Britain that have been made available online for the first time.
The photos on the Britain from Above website, launched today, have gone through a painstaking process of conservation and cataloguing. See more of the images at ITV News.

Rafael Nadal of Spain holds the championship trophy after defeating Novak Djokovic of Serbia for the French Open tennis tournament at Roland Garros in Paris, France, June 11, 2012.
Rain delayed their final match until today, but another brief shower didn't stop Rafael Nadal in his quest to win his seventh French Open by beating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, to take the trophy. The win breaks the record he shared with Bjorn Borg and puts him one win away from breaking Chris Evert's record which she's held since 1986. Nadal was clearly thrilled to take the title, climbing up into the stands and hugging his supporters and family, sharing the moment with them before returning to the court to hoist the trophy over his head for the cameras.
