Caption

'The Washed-Out Tennis-Players', 1879. Here, Punch takes a light-hearted look at the world of women's sports. Tennis was the up and coming game of the Victorian period. However, the summer of 1879 was particularly wet, and the young ladies bemoan the fact that they are unable to get a game. From Punch, or the London Charivari, September 13, 1879.
