EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts a lively scene of the 18th century game of paume, also known as real tennis. Set in an elegant courtyard, a man with a racquet intently watches as other noblemen engage in a spirited match over a high net. The players, dressed in tricorn hats and breeches, display impressive agility and skill as they volley the ball back and forth, their racquets poised for the next strike. Real tennis, a precursor to modern tennis, was a popular pastime among the European aristocracy during this era. The game was typically played indoors in enclosed courts, making it a favored entertainment option for the elite during inclement weather. The intricacy of the rules, the need for precise hand-eye coordination, and the social aspect of the game added to its allure. This enchanting illustration is taken from Henry Rene Allemagne's comprehensive work, "Sports and Games of Skill" (Sports et Jeux d'Adresse), published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1903. Allemagne's meticulously detailed engravings offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th century leisure activities, providing a captivating record of the past for future generations.
