EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a historic moment in time - Prince James, Duke of York, engrossed in a game of tennis. The young prince's intense focus is evident as he skillfully wields his racket, fully immersed in the exhilarating sport. Surrounded by an array of intrigued spectators, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the world of leisure and entertainment during the 1640s. The onlookers are captivated by the prowess displayed by Prince James, who would later become King James II. The image not only captures a historical figure but also provides insight into the games and pastimes enjoyed by nobility during that era. Tennis was considered an elite sport at the time, reserved for those with privilege and influence. With its loose engraving style, this print exudes a sense of movement and energy that perfectly complements Prince James' dynamic presence on court. It serves as both a visual delight and an intriguing window into history. Displayed within private collections for centuries before being made available to wider audiences through Look and Learn / Elgar Collection, this artwork now allows us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its significance in documenting our rich cultural heritage.
