Court on canvas-tennis in art
The first game of lawn tennis was played in 1859 by Major Harry Gem and his friend, Jean Batista Augurio Perera, on a court at the latter's home, 8 Ampton Road, Edgbaston. This unique show at the Barber less than half a mile away is the first ever to explore the subject of tennis in art.
