EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the lush greens of the tennis court and the invigorating atmosphere of friendly competition, an unexpected turn of events unfolds in this delightful illustration by Annie Fish, published in the Tatler's gossip column, 'The Letters of Eve,' in 1916. The scene features a stylishly dressed lady, her tennis racket poised and ready, as she arrives just in time to witness an exciting 'mens four' doubles match about to commence. The anticipation and excitement on the faces of the male players are palpable, as they prepare to showcase their skills and athleticism on the court. However, the lady's arrival has not gone unnoticed by the charming and mischievous men, who can't help but be distracted by her allure. The scene is filled with playful banter, flirtatious glances, and a hint of competitive spirit, as the players try to outdo each other in their attempts to win her favor. The illustration captures the essence of the sporting spirit, the thrill of competition, and the irresistible allure of flirtation, all rolled into one delightful and humorous vignette. Annie Fish's illustration is a charming snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the social customs and recreational pursuits of the early 20th century. The elegant fashion, the lush tennis court setting, and the playful interplay between the characters make this an enduring and timeless piece of art that continues to captivate and entertain.
