EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting world of Wimbledon tennis championships in 1934, as depicted in this caricature print. The image showcases a delightful collection of humorous sketches of some of the most prominent tennis stars of the era. Top left, we find Fred Perry, the British champion, known for his aggressive playing style and distinctive white plus-fours. His intense focus and determination are beautifully captured in this caricature, with a mischievous twist added to his expression. To the right of Fred Perry, we have the graceful Suzanne Lenglen, the French tennis sensation, who dominated women's tennis in the 1920s and early 1930s. Her elegant posture and unwavering confidence are encapsulated in this charming caricature, as she watches the match with a knowing smile. In the foreground, we see Miss Helen Wills Moody, the American tennis legend, who was a formidable force on the court. Here, she is depicted as a spectator, her eyes fixed on the game with keen interest. Bunny Austin, the British player, is shown in the bottom left corner, bounding with energy and enthusiasm. His infectious spirit and agility are perfectly conveyed in this lively caricature. Lastly, we have Jean Borotra, the 'bounding Basque,' a French player known for his quick movements and powerful play. Borotra's intensity and athleticism are brilliantly captured in this playful caricature, as he leaps into action on the court. This delightful caricature print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of tennis in the 1930s, showcasing the personalities and charisma of some of the most iconic players of the era.
