EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing engraving by George du Maurier, we are transported back to the 19th century and witness a comical scene on the tennis court. The image captures a female tennis player in obvious discomfort due to her new rubber shoes. As she attempts to play her game, her facial expression reveals her struggle with every step she takes. Du Maurier's skillful illustration brings out the frustration and awkwardness of the situation, highlighting the clash between fashion and functionality. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of not only the woman's pained expression but also in capturing the intricate design of her rubber shoes. As an accomplished cartoonist and author, Du Maurier adds humor to this otherwise mundane moment on the court. His ability to capture human emotion through art shines through as we can almost feel sympathy for this unfortunate tennis player. This engraving serves as a reminder that even in sports, style choices can sometimes come at a cost. It invites us to reflect on how our own fashion choices may impact our comfort or performance in various activities. Overall, Du Maurier's portrayal of this uncomfortable female tennis player offers both amusement and insight into societal norms surrounding footwear during his time period.
