Prince James, Duke of York - A Glimpse into Royal Sporting Legacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Prince James, Duke of York, in an exquisite engraving by Matthaus Merian the Elder. The image showcases a young Prince James, born on October 15th, 1633, who would later become known as James II and VII. In this historic portrayal, we witness the prince engaging in a game of real tennis or court tennis – a precursor to modern-day lawn tennis. With his regal stature and focused gaze, he holds a tennis racquet firmly in hand while preparing for an intense rally. The crowd surrounding him eagerly watches every move with anticipation. The photograph not only highlights Prince James' athletic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into the vibrant pastimes enjoyed by royalty during that era. It serves as a testament to their love for sports and leisure activities. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Art's private collection today, it is impossible not to be transported back to an era where sports were intertwined with aristocratic culture. This print stands as a reminder of the rich heritage left behind by figures like Prince James – individuals who shaped history both on and off the court.
