EDITORS COMMENTS
Putting them on their metal: A humorous take on the new trend in tennis practice from 1925. In this delightful cartoon from the Illustrated London News, published by Mary Evans Picture Library, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson and Pollinger Ltd, we see a group of tennis players enthusiastically embracing the latest innovation in their sport: a metal net and metal ball. The caption reads, "Putting them on their metal," a playful reference to the idea that this new equipment would help cultivate a more vigorous and robust playing style. The cartoon captures the spirit of the era, when technological advances were transforming various aspects of daily life, including sports. The metal net and ball were seen as a way to challenge players and push them to improve their skills and endurance. The image is filled with humor, as the players are depicted struggling to keep their footing on the slippery metal surface, and one player even seems to be having a hard time keeping his racket from slipping out of his hand. Despite the lighthearted tone, the cartoon also speaks to the seriousness with which tennis was taken during this period. The sport was a popular pastime for the affluent classes, and players were always looking for ways to gain an edge over their opponents. The introduction of metal equipment represented a significant investment in one's tennis game, and the cartoon suggests that the players were willing to endure some discomfort in pursuit of their goals. Overall, this charming cartoon offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of tennis and the ways in which technology and innovation have shaped the sport over the years. It is a reminder that even in the face of challenges and adversity, tennis players have always been dedicated to improving their skills and pushing themselves to new heights.
