EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the idyllic world of the late Victorian era with this charming image of three children playing a game of shuttlecock in the countryside. Dressed in their best holiday attire, a girl in a pink pinafore and apron and two boys in boaters and knickers, they engage in a lively game of badminton, the precursor to modern-day tennis and badminton. The rustic setting, with its lush green grass and rolling hills, adds to the sense of joy and carefree fun. The children's expressions of concentration and excitement are priceless, capturing the essence of childhood and the simple pleasures of a bygone era. The use of straw hats and racquets made from natural materials further emphasizes the rural and historic nature of the scene. This beautiful Christmas card, circa 1890s, is a delightful reminder of the past and the enduring appeal of play and leisure. A perfect gift for history enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone who appreciates the beauty and nostalgia of the Victorian era.
