EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the early 16th century, where we witness a lively game of Windsor Real Tennis, as it was played during the reign of King Henry VII. The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the history of this ancient sport that has been enjoyed at Windsor Castle for over 500 years. King Henry VII, known for his strategic mind and military prowess, was also an avid tennis player. The game of Real Tennis, which originated in France, was a popular pastime among the European aristocracy during this period. The name "Real" distinguishes it from the more modern lawn tennis that would emerge in the following centuries. In this photograph, we see a well-dressed group of players engaged in an intense match. The players, all clad in clothing typical of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, are focused on the game, their expressions revealing a mix of determination, concentration, and enjoyment. The interior of the tennis court at Windsor Castle, with its high walls, intricate decorations, and large windows, adds to the grandeur and elegance of the scene. The game of Real Tennis requires a great deal of skill and agility. Players use rackets, usually made of horn or wood, to hit a small, solid ball over the net and into their opponent's court. The objective is to score points by making the ball land in the opponent's court while ensuring that they are unable to return the ball. This photograph offers a fascinating look into the past, providing us with a glimpse of the history of tennis and the lives of the aristocracy during the reign of King Henry VII. The enduring popularity of tennis, both then and now, is a testament to its ability to captivate and entertain generations of players and spectators alike.
