EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of true British sportsmanship under the most challenging of circumstances. The scene depicts a group of determined tennis players braving a thunderstorm, armed with an ingenious invention known as "The Lightning Service." This safety-first device, complete with rods and umbrellas, is designed to protect players from the dangers of lightning strikes while allowing them to continue their game.
In the face of imminent danger and unpredictable weather conditions, these athletes display unwavering determination and courage as they strive to keep playing their beloved sport. Their commitment to upholding the spirit of fair play and camaraderie in even the most adverse situations is truly commendable.
As dark clouds loom overhead and thunder rumbles in the distance, these brave individuals remain earthed in both body and spirit, refusing to let fear or uncertainty dampen their passion for tennis. With a touch of humor and a nod to history, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience and fortitude that define British sportsmanship.
Credit must be given to Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans for preserving this remarkable snapshot of sporting excellence amidst nature's fury. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit that has long characterized British athletics.
