EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, where a group of men can be seen engrossed in a game of tennis on a covered court. The illustration, entitled Ludus Pilae, is extracted from Johann Amos Comenius' renowned school textbook Orbis Sensualium Pictus, first published in 1658. The image transports us to an era when tennis was still in its early stages and played with great enthusiasm by these gentlemen. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of the time - elegant coats, breeches, and ruffled collars - as they engage in this beloved sport. The composition captures the intensity and skill involved in playing tennis during this period. Each player holds a racquet firmly while their eyes remain focused on the ball's trajectory across the net. The covered court adds an air of exclusivity and sophistication to their game. As we admire this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how sports have evolved over centuries but continue to captivate people's hearts through generations. This print serves as both a testament to our enduring love for sports and a window into the past that allows us to appreciate how far we have come since those early days on the tennis court.
