EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the history of table tennis, showcasing the technique known as "Back-Hand Service from Right-Hand Side". The image is taken from Arnold Parker's renowned book, "Ping-pong: The Game and How to Play It" which solidified his reputation as a skilled player. Parker himself was not only the winner of the Queens Hall Open Ping-Pong Tournament but also secured second place in the Table Tennis Championship of England. Published in "The English Illustrated Magazine" during 1902, this photograph transports us back to an era when table tennis was gaining popularity as a pastime among gentlemen. In this Edwardian scene, we see a focused man executing his backhand stroke with precision and finesse. His concentration is palpable as he engages in this exciting sport that has captivated people across generations. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. This vintage print serves as a testament to both Parker's expertise and the enduring appeal of ping pong throughout time. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how sports have always brought people together for moments filled with competition, camaraderie, and joy.
