EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Tennis Players (2nd state)" from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, depicts an enchanting scene of two elegant tennis players, immersed in the sport they love. The male and female players, dressed in fashionable attire of the early 20th century, gracefully hold their racquets in ready positions, their focus intently on the game. The serene court setting is further enhanced by the presence of tall sunflowers, their vibrant yellow hues adding a pop of colour against the green backdrop. The lithograph, created in 1918, is a stunning second state print from the original. It was first published in a July 1920 issue of a popular magazine, Volume 12, and was illustrated by the renowned artist John Copley. Copley's mastery of the medium is evident in the intricate details and delicate shading, which bring the scene to life. The tennis players' poised and confident demeanor exudes a sense of grace and sophistication, making this print a timeless piece of art that continues to capture the essence of the sport and the spirit of the era. The inclusion of the sunflowers adds a touch of whimsy and playfulness, making it a delightful addition to any art collection or tennis enthusiast's space.
