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

Note: Where were these tennis illustrations published? Were they from an advertisement or promotion for New Balance? Let me know and I'll add the information to this post.
