EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print, "Barbarous Technicalities of Lawn Tennis, 1882 (1891)", by the talented artist George du Maurier, takes us back to a leisurely scene in Victorian Britain. The image showcases a tennis court nestled within an exquisite garden setting. A group of men and women are engaged in a spirited game of tennis, with their fashionable attire reflecting the trends of the era. In this delightful snapshot of history, we see both players and spectators immersed in the excitement unfolding before them. A man confidently serves the ball while his opponent stands ready to return it with equal determination. Onlookers seated on wicker chairs observe every move intently, their eyes fixed on the action. The attention to detail is remarkable as du Maurier captures not only the essence of sport but also elements of social interaction and fashion prevalent during that time period. The intricate engravings bring out nuances in facial expressions and body language, adding depth to each character portrayed. Through this satirical piece from Punch magazine's Society Pictures collection, du Maurier playfully comments on what he perceives as complex rules and technicalities associated with lawn tennis at that time. His artistic talent shines through as he combines humor with skillful illustration techniques. This black-and-white print transports us back to a bygone era where leisure activities like tennis were enjoyed amidst beautiful surroundings and stylish company. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, there is much joy to be found in embracing pastimes that bring people
