All About Our Lawn Tennis Club: A Humorous Sketch by Arthur Hopkins, 1886 This delightful comic strip by Arthur Hopkins captures the spirit of camaraderie and determination among members of a Victorian lawn tennis club. In the illustration, a group of enthusiastic individuals embark on the ambitious project of creating their own tennis court. Armed with axes and saws, they set about clearing the land, cutting down saplings and brushwood to make way for their new sporting hub. With the ground cleared, the team rolls out the grass using a large, old-fashioned lawn roller. Their faces are etched with concentration and sweat, a testament to their dedication to their new activity. Once the grass is rolled, they put up netting to complete their makeshift tennis court. The excitement builds as they invite the famous tennis player, Renshaw, for a game. Dressed in their best summer attire, the spectators gather around, eagerly anticipating the match. However, their joy is short-lived as Renshaw quickly outmaneuvers them, leaving them in a state of humiliation. Renshaw, with a kind smile, explains that the court was simply too wretchedly bad to provide a fair game. The members of the club, though disappointed, can't help but laugh at their own expense. This humorous sketch by Arthur Hopkins not only captures the essence of a Victorian lawn tennis club but also highlights the importance of perseverance and good sportsmanship.
