EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Girls Playing Badminton," transports us back in time to the early 1900s, where we find a group of young girls engrossed in a lively game of badminton. The image, taken in 1908, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this popular sport and the role it played in the lives of girls during that era. Badminton, a game that originated in India in the 16th century, had gained significant popularity in Europe and the United States by the turn of the 20th century. The girls in this photograph are dressed in fashionable outfits of the time, with long skirts and blouses, and they display a level of concentration and determination that belies their youthful appearance. The scene is set in a spacious, sunlit garden, with the girls positioned around a badminton net, each poised to make their next move. The shuttlecock, a feathered projectile, hovers in the air, ready to be struck by one of the players. The background is filled with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, adding to the idyllic setting. This photograph not only captures the essence of a leisurely pastime enjoyed by girls of the time but also serves as a reminder of the evolving role of women in sports. The girls' enthusiasm and engagement in the game demonstrate their passion for physical activity and their desire to participate in a sport that was once considered a male domain. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of badminton and the joy it brings to people of all ages, as well as the progress made in promoting gender equality in sports. This image is a testament to the rich history of badminton and the girls who played it over a century ago.
