EDITORS COMMENTS
Brighter Wimbledon: A Colorful and Amusing Vision by Alfred Leete (1927) This delightful cartoon print by Alfred Leete, titled "Brighter Wimbledon," offers a playful and humorous take on the annual tennis tournament held at the prestigious All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Dated 1927, the image suggests an intriguing alternative to the traditional Wimbledon experience: what if all the tennis players appeared on the court in their native costumes? Leete's whimsical illustration showcases a lively and diverse collection of international players, each dressed in their distinctive traditional attire. From the French player in a beret and striped shirt, to the American in a star-spangled ensemble, and the Japanese player in a kimono, every character adds a splash of color and culture to the otherwise monochrome tennis court. The double entendre in the title "Brighter Wimbledon" refers not only to the vibrant colors of the players' costumes but also to the amusing and lighthearted atmosphere that Leete has captured in this cartoon. The cartoon's charming and humorous depiction of the tennis players in their native costumes invites us to reimagine the classic sporting event with a fresh and entertaining perspective. Alfred Leete's "Brighter Wimbledon" is a captivating piece of sports history, showcasing the artist's keen sense of humor and appreciation for the diversity of the international tennis community. This print is a delightful reminder of the enduring appeal of Wimbledon and the joy that can be found in the unexpected.
