EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Lawn Tennis" takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically to February 1st, 1902. Created by Francisco Xavier Gose, a Spanish artist known for his exceptional talent in capturing sports scenes, this print showcases a couple engaged in an intense game of lawn tennis. The image transports us to a time when the sport was still relatively new and gaining popularity worldwide. The male and female players are dressed elegantly in traditional tennis attire of the era. Their focused expressions reveal their determination as they skillfully maneuver their rackets to strike the ball with precision. The vibrant colours used by Gose bring life and energy to the scene, making it feel almost as if we were witnessing this match firsthand. The lush green grass court contrasts beautifully against the bright blue sky above, creating a visually pleasing composition. Intriguingly, there is also a whistle depicted within the artwork - perhaps indicating that this particular match is being officiated or supervised by someone nearby. Overall, this print from L'Assiette au Beurre magazine provides us with not only an artistic representation of lawn tennis but also offers insight into how people enjoyed leisure activities over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of both our shared sporting history and our enduring fascination with physical competition.
