EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a lively game of lawn tennis, capturing the essence of high society leisure. Created by Alfred Edward Emslie and published in the Illustrated London News in July 1880, this hand-coloured print exudes Victorian charm. The scene is set on a well-manicured lawn where players donning fashionable attire engage in an intense match, accompanied by their loyal canine companions. The upper-class participants exhibit their refined social status through their elegant clothing and accessories such as top hats and walking sticks. Spectators gather around to witness this popular sport of English origin that has gained popularity across Europe, including Germany. The illustration beautifully captures the vibrant energy of summer with lush green grass serving as a backdrop for this spirited game. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print offers a glimpse into the historical context of both sports and fashion trends during the era. It reflects not only the growing popularity of tennis but also highlights how it became intertwined with social class distinctions among European elites. Preserved within private collections like Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, prints like these serve as valuable artifacts that provide insight into our pastimes and cultural heritage. This particular artwork from Bridgeman Images invites us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its role in documenting history.
