EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated 1658, offers a rare glimpse into the world of early tennis, a popular pastime among the European aristocracy during the 17th century. The image, titled "Early Tennis Court," showcases an interior setting, where a group of elegantly dressed men engage in a spirited game. Tennis, which originated in France, had already spread across Europe and was considered a symbol of refinement and status. The court itself is simple yet intriguing. The lines of the playing surface are clearly visible, marked by chalk on the smooth, earthen floor. The walls, adorned with intricate frescoes, add an element of luxury and sophistication to the space. The men, dressed in fashionable doublets and breeches, demonstrate the precision and skill required to play the game. Their intense focus and animated expressions convey the excitement and competitiveness that characterized early tennis matches. The print also reveals some interesting details about the equipment used during this era. The rackets, resembling large paddles, are held in both hands and appear to be made of wood. The balls, much smaller than their modern counterparts, are likely made of leather or wool, and would have been struck with considerable force to clear the net and reach the opponent's side of the court. This print not only provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of tennis but also offers a window into the daily life and social customs of the European aristocracy during the 17th century. The image invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of an early tennis match, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance, refinement, and athletic prowess.
