EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an early battledore racket from around 1825. Crafted with precision and care, this antique piece is made of ash wood, adorned with calf skin and gut stringing. The intricate design of the racket includes mains wrapped around the crossings, reminiscent of real tennis rackets from that era. The French School in the 19th century created this remarkable artifact, now held in a private collection.
