The Linesman Who Snored at Wimbledon" is a charming and humorous illustration from the archives of the Illustrated London News, published on September 16, 1928. 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. The Linesman Who Snored at Wimbledon is a reminder that even in the most formal and prestigious of settings, the unexpected can and will happen. Alfred Leete was a renowned cartoonist and illustrator, known for his work in the Illustrated London News and other publications. His ability to capture the essence of everyday life and infuse it with humor and charm made him a beloved figure in the world of British illustration. The Linesman Who Snored at Wimbledon is just one example of his many contributions to the world of art and humor.
