EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases Dr. James Dwight, the esteemed Lawn Tennis Champion of the North of England in 1885. The photo, part of the Worlds Champions series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes from 1888, exudes an air of elegance and sporting prowess that defined the late 19th century. Dr. James Dwight's commanding presence is captured with precision and artistry in this lithotint masterpiece by Claus Lindner Eddy and Claus Lindner. With his distinguished facial hair and a well-groomed moustache, he epitomizes the gentlemanly sportsman of his time. Dressed in sportswear befitting a champion, Dr. Dwight holds a tennis racquet with confidence as if ready to engage in a thrilling match on the grass courts. His blue cap adds a touch of color to this monochromatic portrait while emphasizing his dedication to his chosen profession. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line and shade expertly rendered through lithography techniques employed during that era. The Western script text accompanying the image provides historical context without overpowering its visual impact. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this trade card offers us a glimpse into both sporting history and printing craftsmanship from over a century ago. It serves as an enduring testament to Dr. James Dwight's athletic achievements while celebrating the timeless allure of tennis as one of humanity's most beloved sports.
