EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous 1931 illustration by Atsmith, we witness a comical exchange between a visitor and a stout hostess on a tennis court. The scene takes place in Britain, as depicted by the iconic magazine Punch, known for its satirical content. The visitor seems perplexed after committing two double-faults and questions whether the court is full size. In response, the equally stout hostess points to her own figure and explains that it's just "a leetle bit smaller". She humorously attributes her partner James' inability to run around to his recent weight gain. This snapshot of British society in the 1930s reflects both gender dynamics and societal expectations surrounding physical appearance. The women are dressed in sportswear appropriate for lawn tennis, highlighting their active participation in sports during this era. Atsmith's artwork captures not only the essence of a playful moment on the tennis court but also provides social commentary through satire. This print from Punch showcases his talent for combining wit with visual artistry. As an artifact from history, this image serves as a reminder of how humor has been used throughout time to shed light on societal norms and challenges faced by individuals within their respective professions or roles.
