EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively lithograph captures the essence of a game of tennis in the 19th century. The image, titled "Games with the Ball, Tennis" is part of a private collection and was created by an English School artist during this period. The scene depicted in the print showcases a tennis court at Lord's, beautifully illustrating English country life. It serves as an illustration for Henry Downes Miles' book "English Country Life" published around 1880. The artwork transports us to a time when ball games were popular parlour games enjoyed by both men and women. Set against a backdrop of green pastures and rural landscapes, it evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times. The use of color adds vibrancy to the image, bringing out every detail from the players on the court to the surrounding countryside. The court itself symbolizes justice and fair play while also highlighting sportsmanship. This piece not only celebrates sport but also provides insight into rural life in England during this era. It reminds us that even amidst changing times, traditions like these have endured throughout history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem through their fine art collection, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty and significance today.
