Lee Lorenz: Tennis Equipment

A set of three matching color illustrations by the late Lee Lorenz (1932-2022), former art editor (1973-1993) and cartoon editor (1993-1997) of The New Yorker. The drawings are on the subject of tennis and, apparently, humorous ancillary equipment—a sextant, a calculator, and a bazooka—to improve one's game, naturally. These look like editorial work done for a magazine, or perhaps they are sneaker ads. They were originally offered on eBay for $1,500 but sold when the price was reduced to $1,200.
