FAQs

Victorian lawn tennis engravings originated in late 19th-century periodicals such as The Illustrated London News, documenting the rise of tennis as a fashionable social sport following the inaugural Wimbledon championship in 1877.

These prints were produced using wood engraving techniques, where artists drew directly onto boxwood blocks before engravers incised the lines to allow mass monochrome printing on paper.

Authentic Victorian wood engravings feature distinct line patterns, fine cross-hatching, period typography in the margins, and natural age toning on original paper stock.

Mount the print in a simple timber frame with a wide, neutral mount, hanging it within a gallery wall or above a sideboard to complement modern schemes.

Keep paper prints away from direct sunlight and high humidity, framing them behind UV-protective glass with acid-free mount board to prevent discolouration.
