Description | Artist's proof engraving on paper. Depicts a view taken from high of Mr Tuer's tennis court with two gentlemen players and one lady, all in contemporary dress. The court is cut off by a tall fence in the foreground and is surrounded by trees. To the right is St. Mary Abbots Church Kensington and houses at the back of the composition. Figures have been sketched in with pen on top of the print, including a gentleman in a top hat in the foreground and a cluster of figures in the far corner of the court, one with a parasol and one sitting on a chair. The style is light and detailed in contrast to Sambourne’s cartoons of the same period. |
