EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an early battledore racket from around 1825. Crafted with precision and care, this antique piece is made of ash wood, adorned with calf skin and gut stringing. The intricate design of the racket includes mains wrapped around the crossings, reminiscent of real tennis rackets from that era. The French School in the 19th century created this remarkable artifact, now held in a private collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its craftsmanship but also in its representation of pastimes and leisure activities enjoyed during that time period. With a touch of nostalgia, this print transports us back to a simpler era when wooden battledores were used for fun-filled games. Whether it was played competitively or casually among friends, this ancient sport brought joy to those who wielded these unique rackets. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but imagine the laughter and camaraderie shared by players as they engaged in friendly matches on grassy courts or sandy beaches. This snapshot captures the essence of an age-old game that has evolved into modern-day tennis. Bridgeman Images presents us with another glimpse into history through their vast collection of fine art prints. Their dedication to preserving these treasures allows us to appreciate the beauty and cultural significance found within each frame.
