Acquired directly from the Prop Services West (PSW) inventory reduction auction in Los Angeles, the set retains documented studio provenance connecting it to one of television's most celebrated sitcoms.

A handsome set of three framed decorative prints inspired by eighteenth-century French sporting engravings from Diderot's Encyclopédie, depicting tennis (jeu de paume) equipment including rackets, balls, stringing diagrams, and related sporting implements. Printed in black on a warm cream ground, the central composition is titled "TENNIS" and includes the period inscriptions "Paulmerie, Instrumens de Paulme et de Billard" and "Benard direxit," faithfully reproducing the style of the original engraved plates.

The prints are professionally presented under plexiglass with cream mats in matching gilt and wood-tone molded frames, creating an elegant triptych well suited to libraries, studies, game rooms, offices, sporting clubs, or traditional interiors.
