This is a vintage photograph depicting a sequence of images showing a person playing tennis. The image is arranged in a grid of 24 small, black and white photographs, capturing the motion of a tennis serve. The person, dressed in a long-sleeved shirt, shorts, and a cap, is shown in various stages of the serve – from the initial backswing to the follow-through. A tennis ball is visible in some of the frames, illustrating the trajectory of the serve. The background shows a tennis court with a net, and a dark, textured wall behind it. The images are arranged in a grid-like pattern, creating a stop-motion effect that captures the fluidity of the tennis serve. At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads “ANIMAL LOCOMOTION. PLATE 297”.
