EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of real tennis and the art of constructing racquets. Taken from Denis Diderot's Encyclopedia, a renowned publication from the 18th century, this engraving by Robert Benard offers a glimpse into the rich history of this beloved sport. The image captures an interior scene where players engage in a thrilling game on a meticulously designed court. The net stands tall, dividing the space as players strategize their moves. The strings of the racquets are expertly woven, ready to strike with precision and power. Real tennis, also known as jeu de paume or "game of palm" is an indoor ball game that has captivated enthusiasts for centuries. This demonstration highlights not only the physicality but also the skillful technique required to excel in this ancient sport. The attention to detail in depicting every aspect of real tennis is evident - from the carefully constructed racquets to each player's stance and concentration. It serves as a testament to both Diderot's dedication to knowledge preservation and Benard's artistic prowess. As we admire this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, let us appreciate how sports have evolved over time while still retaining their essence. Real tennis continues to be celebrated today for its historical significance and enduring appeal among athletes and fans alike.
