EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fast Half-Volley, 1902" takes us back to the early 20th century when table tennis was gaining popularity as a pastime. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown, but it was featured in the renowned publication "The English Illustrated Magazine" in April to September 1902. Illustrated instructions from Arnold Parker's book, "Ping-pong: The Game and How to Play It" accompany the photograph. Arnold Parker himself was a distinguished player who won both the Queens Hall Open Ping-Pong Tournament and secured second place in the Table Tennis Championship of England. In this snapshot, we see a gentleman engrossed in an intense game of ping pong. His focused expression reveals his determination to execute a fast half-volley shot with precision. The diagram on the print provides valuable insights into how players strategized their moves during that era. This vintage piece captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the Edwardian period's fascination with leisure activities. It serves as a reminder of how sports like table tennis transcended social boundaries and brought people together for friendly competition. Preserved by T. Fisher Unwin Ltd. , London, this print holds historical significance within its monochrome frame. As we admire this relic from over a century ago, let us appreciate its contribution to our understanding of early sporting culture and recognize those who paved the way for modern-day table tennis enthusiasts worldwide.
