EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an elegant game of lawn tennis in the Edwardian era. The illustration, created by Georges Bertin Scott in 1906, was originally featured as part of a calendar for the renowned clothes shop La Belle Jardiniere in Paris. In this scene, we are transported to a sunny August day on a well-manicured court surrounded by lush greenery. A group of stylishly dressed individuals engage in a friendly match while others observe from a comfortable wooden bench nearby. The players showcase their impeccable fashion sense with boater hats and fashionable attire, reflecting the refined society they belong to. The genteel atmosphere is palpable as spectators enjoy this leisurely summer pastime. With wooden rackets in hand, these men and women display both skill and grace as they rally back and forth across the net. As we admire this delightful snapshot from history, it becomes evident that lawn tennis was not only a sport but also an opportunity for social interaction among high society during this time period. This image serves as a reminder of how fashion and leisure activities intertwine to create moments that transcend time. This enchanting artwork is now preserved within the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today through eArchives Charmet.
