EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the history of table tennis, showcasing the "Under-Hand Fore-Hand Drive" technique. Created in 1902 by an unknown artist, this illustration was featured in Arnold Parker's book titled "Ping-pong: The Game and How to Play It". Arnold Parker himself was a renowned player, having won the Queens Hall Open Ping-Pong Tournament and securing second place in the Table Tennis Championship of England. His expertise is evident as he provides detailed instructions on executing this particular drive. The image depicts a gentleman holding a bat with focused determination, ready to strike the ping pong ball with precision. This snapshot from the Edwardian era showcases not only the sport itself but also reflects on leisure activities enjoyed during that time. Published in "The English Illustrated Magazine". Volume XXVII between April and September 1902 by T. Fisher Unwin Ltd. , this print offers us insight into early table tennis techniques while capturing the essence of pastime enjoyment among men during that period. Preserved through time, this retro photograph serves as a testament to both Arnold Parker's contribution to table tennis instruction and our fascination with sports history.
