EDITORS COMMENTS
by Wallis Mills is a captivating and humorous tennis-themed cartoon from 1931, showcasing a bold and daring fashion trend that shook the tennis world. In the image, a group of elderly female spectators are in a state of shock and consternation as one tennis player, inspired by the new trend of tennis shorts, discards her dress and decides to play in her underwear. The cartoon's witty and playful tone is evident in the exaggerated expressions and reactions of the spectators, who are depicted with wide-eyed surprise and disbelief. The cartoonist, Wallis Mills, masterfully captures the essence of the time, where fashion and sport were intertwined, and the boundaries of what was considered acceptable on the tennis court were being pushed. The image is a testament to the power of fashion to inspire change and provoke reactions, even if it means challenging the status quo. The cartoon's use of humor and satire adds to its appeal, making it a fun and amusing addition to any collection of tennis or fashion-related artwork. The contrast between the proper and conservative attire of the spectators and the daring and daringly underdressed player adds to the humor and visual interest of the image. Overall, "Cause and Effect" by Wallis Mills is a fascinating and entertaining glimpse into the past, showcasing the impact of fashion on sport and the reactions it can evoke. The image is a must-have for anyone interested in tennis, fashion, or the history of both.
