EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures the intense atmosphere of The Lawn Tennis Championship at Wimbledon in 1891. In this historic image, Messrs W Baddeley and J Pim can be seen fiercely competing for the Finals on a beautifully manicured court. The Victorian era spectators are gathered around the court, eagerly watching every move with anticipation and excitement. Their fashionable attire adds a touch of elegance to the scene, reflecting the refined nature of this prestigious sporting event. The players themselves exude determination and skill as they engage in an exhilarating match. Each swing of their rackets showcases their expertise and love for the game. It is evident that both competitors possess incredible talent and are fully committed to securing victory. The artist, Samuel Begg, has masterfully captured this momentous occasion by employing modern hand colouring techniques reminiscent of traditional Victorian style. This artistic choice enhances the visual appeal of the print while paying homage to its historical context. "The Lawn Tennis Championship at Wimbledon 1891" serves as a testament to not only the enduring popularity of tennis but also its rich history rooted in tradition and sportsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from over a century ago, we cannot help but feel connected to those who came before us – united by our shared passion for competition and love for this timeless sport.
