The Washed-Out Tennis-Players 1575-1615 Mademoiselle Grimprel au ruban rouge'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.
