EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithographic print titled "Lawn Tennis, a Favorite Game on Staten Island" captures the essence of leisure and recreation in 19th century America. The image showcases a group of elegantly dressed men and women engaged in a spirited game of lawn tennis against the backdrop of Staten Island's scenic beauty. This artwork is an illustration from the book "The New Metropolis" edited by E Idell Zeisloft and published in 1899. It offers us a glimpse into the social life and pastimes enjoyed by residents of this vibrant city at that time. Lawn tennis, which originated in England, had gained popularity among Americans as well, becoming one of their favorite outdoor games. Staten Island, located within New York City's five boroughs, provided an idyllic setting for such recreational activities. Its lush green lawns and picturesque landscapes made it an ideal spot for people to gather and enjoy friendly matches amidst nature's splendor. As we admire this historical engraving captured by American School artists from the 19th century, we are reminded of how sports have always played an integral role in society - not just for physical exercise but also as a means to foster camaraderie and create lasting memories with friends and loved ones. This piece serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of lawn tennis while offering us a window into the rich history of Staten Island as part of America's cultural tapestry.
