This detailed black-and-white illustration features three distinct wooden tennis rackets from the late 19th to early 20th century, each with hand-laced gut strings and unique frame shapes-including a teardrop, oval, and rounded head design. Two worn, textured tennis balls rest nearby, reflecting the era’s rubber-core construction and cloth covering. The drawing evokes the craftsmanship and aesthetic of early lawn tennis before the advent of metal and composite materials.
