EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this uproarious lithograph by Charles William Kahles, we are transported back to the early 20th century when a tennis craze swept through the streets. This satirical drawing, originally published in Judges Magazine, captures the essence of a time when tennis became not just a sport but an all-consuming obsession. The scene is set in a bustling town where men and women alike have abandoned their daily routines to engage in this newfound hobby. The streets are transformed into impromptu tennis courts as players eagerly compete against each other with exaggerated enthusiasm. With its comedic undertones and humorous caricatures, this artwork offers a scathing satire on society's obsession with trends and fads. Kahles' masterful use of comic elements brings out the absurdity of this tennis mania. From exaggerated facial expressions to comically oversized rackets, every detail adds to the overall amusing effect. As we observe these street matches unfold, it becomes clear that this craze has taken over people's lives like never before. This lithograph serves as both a historical snapshot and an entertaining commentary on human behavior. It reminds us that throughout history, people have always been susceptible to collective obsessions and trends that can momentarily consume their lives. With its timeless humor and clever depiction of societal quirks, "A Tennis Craze Takes Over the Streets" continues to captivate viewers even after more than a century since
