1. Title: "A French Ball-Boy in Flamboyant Gear, Ready for Duty in a 1629 Tennis Match" This image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to an early tennis court in France, circa 1629. The photograph features an attentive and stylish ball-boy, dressed in the fashion of the era, poised and prepared to pick up any stray balls during his masters' game. The ball-boy's ensemble is a striking blend of the practical and the flamboyant. He wears a long, flowing tunic, cinched at the waist with a sash, and a pair of hose that reach down to his ankles. His feet are shod in high, laced boots, suitable for the uneven terrain of the tennis court. But it is his headgear that truly sets him apart – a tall, ornate hat adorned with feathers and ribbons, a symbol of his status as a page in the service of the nobility. In his right hand, the ball-boy holds a racket, a testament to his role in the game. In his left, he carries a sword, a common accessory for pages in the 17th century. The sword not only served as a status symbol but also had practical uses, such as defending against any unexpected intrusions or protecting the players from errant balls. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of tennis and the role of the ball-boy, a position that has evolved significantly over the centuries. This photograph is a reminder of the rich heritage of the sport and the elegance and style that once defined it.
