EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this wood engraving from 1880, we witness the historic moment when Mr. Hartley emerges victorious in the prestigious lawn tennis match at Wimbledon, England. The scene is filled with electric energy as spectators eagerly watch the intense competition unfold on the well-manicured court. With his athletic prowess and unwavering determination, Hartley skillfully wields his racket to outmaneuver his opponent and claim the coveted cup for a second time. His remarkable feat solidifies him as a true champion of the sport, showcasing not only his exceptional skills but also his relentless pursuit of excellence. The late 19th-century setting adds an air of nostalgia to this timeless image, transporting us back to an era where gentlemen engaged in gentlemanly sportsmanship. Amidst a sea of English men dressed in their finest attire, Hartley stands tall as he basks in the glory of victory. This wood engraving captures both the intensity and grace that define tennis as a sport while celebrating Hartley's triumph. It serves as a testament to human resilience and dedication, reminding us that through hard work and perseverance, one can achieve greatness on even the grandest stage. As we gaze upon this piece from The Granger Collection's archives, we are reminded of how far tennis has come since its early days while honoring those who paved its path towards becoming one of today's most beloved global competitions.
