EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A game of lawn tennis" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in time when this popular sport was just beginning to gain momentum. Illustrated by George du Maurier, a renowned Franco-British cartoonist and author, this cartoon perfectly depicts the elegance and leisurely nature associated with lawn tennis. In this scene, we see two women engaged in an intense match on a well-manicured garden court. Their rackets poised mid-swing, they exude both grace and determination as they compete for victory. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate net that divides the court to the expressions of concentration etched upon their faces. Du Maurier's illustration not only captures the essence of lawn tennis but also provides us with a glimpse into British society during this era. The presence of wealth is palpable as these women engage in sport - a luxury reserved for those who had both time and resources at their disposal. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of sportsmanship and competition across cultures. Du Maurier's talent shines through his ability to convey movement within still imagery while infusing it with subtle humor characteristic of his work. This print serves as a testament to George du Maurier's skill as an illustrator and offers us an intriguing window into 19th-century Britain where sports became intertwined with social status and leisurely pursuits were celebrated.
