Battledore Enjoy Leisurely Pic Nic Shuttlecock
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 18th century print captures the essence of leisure and recreation as two elegantly dressed ladies engage in a friendly game of battledore and shuttlecock during a picnic in a beautiful garden setting. The game of battledore, also known as battledore and shuttlecock or simply shuttlecock, was a popular pastime among the aristocracy and gentry during the 18th and 19th centuries. The objective of the game is to hit the shuttlecock with a bat, or battledore, and keep it in the air as long as possible, with the opponent trying to hit it back. The ladies in the print appear to be enjoying themselves immensely, their laughter and lighthearted banter adding to the joyful atmosphere of the picnic. The lush greenery and colorful flowers surrounding them create a picturesque backdrop, further emphasizing the idyllic and carefree nature of the scene. The ladies' elegant attire, complete with wide-brimmed hats and long, flowing skirts, adds to the sense of refinement and sophistication. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the leisure activities and social customs of the 18th century. It is a reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace, and simple pleasures like a game of battledore and shuttlecock during a picnic in the gardens were cherished experiences. The print is a beautiful and timeless piece that is sure to add character and charm to any room in your home or office.
