This cartoon by George du Maurier takes us back to the 19th century, offering a delightful glimpse into a game of lawn tennis. With his artistic prowess, du Maurier skillfully captures the essence of this popular sport and its lively atmosphere. The illustration showcases two players engaged in an intense match, their rackets poised mid-air as they eagerly anticipate the ball's trajectory. Du Maurier's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen, from the players' determined expressions to their graceful movements on the court. The artist's Franco-British background adds a unique perspective to this piece, infusing it with elements from both cultures.

Lawn tennis emerged as a fun and engaging way for people to stay active while enjoying friendly competition.
