Playtime at Wimbledon - A Humorous Illustration of Jazz Tennis by William Heath Robinson William Heath Robinson's
EDITORS COMMENTS
Playtime at Wimbledon" captures the new craze of Jazz Tennis in full swing. In this delightful illustration, tennis players are seen dancing the foxtrot on a tennis court, their focus on the dance steps rather than the game. The umpire, dressed in his traditional attire, watches over them with a cigar in hand, a smile playing on his lips. Heath Robinson was a regular contributor to renowned publications such as The Sketch, The Bystander, and other ILN titles during his lifetime. His weekly drawings, known for their mind-boggling contraptions and designs, were immensely popular. This historical illustration, created in 1926, showcases the 23rd Wimbledon Championships held in June. Heath Robinson's unique ability to blend humor and sport in his work makes this piece a must-have for tennis enthusiasts and collectors of historical illustrations. The artist's intricate designs and attention to detail are on full display, adding to the charm of this image. Robinson's contributions to various titles were a regular feature, and his work was published weekly. His illustrations, which often showcased complex and imaginative contraptions, were a source of amusement and fascination for readers. This playful take on tennis at Wimbledon is a testament to Heath Robinson's artistic genius and his ability to capture the spirit of the times."
