This delightful cartoon, created by the talented Alfred Leete, captures a lighthearted moment during a tennis match at the prestigious Wimbledon Championships. In the illustration, we see a linesman, deep in slumber, as a tennis point is being played out on the court. The players, their expressions a mix of shock and amusement, look on in disbelief as the snoring linesman disrupts the flow of the game. The linesman's fellow officials, also in disbelief, exchange concerned glances as they attempt to wake their colleague. The scene is filled with intricate details that add to the humor and charm of the illustration. The players' clothing, the tennis rackets, and the umpire's chair all contribute to the authenticity of the setting. The linesman's peaceful expression as he sleeps, oblivious to the chaos around him, adds to the whimsical nature of the scene. This illustration is a testament to the humanizing effect of humor and the ability of art to capture the unexpected moments in life.
