EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous engraving from the 19th century captures a comical scene of "Lawn-Tennis under Difficulties, 'Play!'". The illustration, originally featured in Punch on October 5,1878, showcases a satirical take on the popular sport of lawn tennis. In this amusing cartoon, we see players engaged in a game of tennis that is anything but ordinary. The artist skillfully portrays the challenges and absurdities faced by these participants as they navigate through an array of obstacles and mishaps. From oversized rackets to tangled nets and even unexpected wildlife encounters, every aspect seems designed to test their skills and sense of humor. The satirical drawing not only pokes fun at the game itself but also serves as social commentary on Victorian society's obsession with leisure activities. With its exaggerated characters and witty details, this caricature offers viewers a lighthearted escape into a world where even something as simple as playing tennis becomes an adventure filled with laughter. As we gaze upon this delightful print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that sports can be more than just physical exertion; they can also provide moments of joy and amusement for all involved. So let us join these whimsical players in their unconventional match and embrace the hilarity that ensues when "Lawn-Tennis under Difficulties" takes center stage!
