EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Edwardian leisure and indulge in the delightful pastime of Garden Ping Pong, as captured in this advertisement from the Illustrated London News Ltd, featuring a print from Mary Evans Prints Online. This charming image transports us back to the year 1901, when Hamleys, the renowned British toy store, introduced their innovative Garden Ping Pong table to the market. The advertisement showcases a couple, elegantly dressed in the fashion of the era, engaged in a friendly match in their picturesque garden setting. The table, adorned with intricate floral designs and set against a backdrop of lush greenery, epitomizes the elegance and sophistication of the time. The game, also known as Wiff-Waff, Gossima, or simply Table Tennis, had become a craze among the upper classes, and Hamleys capitalized on this trend by offering a version designed for outdoor use. The advertisement text invites readers to "Brighten up your garden parties with Hamleys Garden Ping Pong Table," promising hours of fun and entertainment for all ages. The game, with its lightweight and portable design, was an ideal addition to any garden soiree, providing a delightful alternative to traditional parlor pastimes. This advertisement not only offers a glimpse into the past but also highlights the enduring appeal of table tennis as a beloved sport and recreational activity. Join the couple in their Garden Ping Pong match and experience the joy and camaraderie of this timeless game.
