EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures a moment of anticipation and excitement on the tennis court in 1920. Titled "Tennis, 1920" this illustration from Punch, or The London Charivari magazine showcases the British love for this popular sport during the early 20th century. In the image, we see two men engaged in a friendly match. The bright beginner, depicted as an opponent to the server, seems eager to join in on the action. With his racquet held high and eyes fixed on the ball, he asks himself if it's finally his turn to make a move. The scene is set against a picturesque summer backdrop with lush green lawns and towering trees surrounding the tennis court. This panorama adds to the charm of this outdoor pastime that was enjoyed by people from all walks of life. The print beautifully captures not only a game but also reflects elements of British culture at that time – their passion for sportsmanship and leisure activities amidst nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder of how tennis has been cherished throughout history as both an occupation and recreational pursuit. Preserved by Heritage Images and created by an unknown artist, this snapshot transports us back to an era where tennis was more than just a game; it represented camaraderie, skill, and joyous moments spent under sunny skies.
