EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early days of table tennis, also known as ping-pong, with this charming Edwardian scene from circa 1904. In this elegant tableau, a smartly dressed gentleman, with a serious expression and impeccably tailored jacket, politely inquires of his glamorous young female companion if it is her turn to serve. The pretty young lady, with an air of grace and poise, looks up from the table with a demure smile, ready to respond. Table tennis, a popular parlor game of the time, was often played during dinner parties and social gatherings. The etiquette of the game was just as important as the game itself, with rules governing everything from the proper attire to the order of serving. This delightful image captures the essence of politeness and good manners that were hallmarks of the Edwardian era. The elegant setting, the formal attire, and the courteous interaction between the two players transport us to a bygone era, where the simple pleasure of a friendly game of table tennis was a cherished pastime. As we admire this charming scene, we can almost hear the soft ping of the ball against the table and the gentle clatter of the paddles. A true reminder of the history and heritage of table tennis, this image is a must-have for any collector of vintage sports memorabilia or those with an interest in social history.
