EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Chinese Girls Playing with Shuttlecocks,' is a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural history of China during the 19th century. The image, created in 1894, depicts two young girls dressed in traditional Chinese attire, effortlessly keeping shuttlecocks aloft using only their feet. The girls are shown in a playful and carefree manner, their expressions filled with joy and concentration as they engage in this ancient pastime. Shuttlecock play, also known as 'jiu quan' in Chinese, has a long and storied history in China, dating back over a thousand years. The game, which involves hitting a shuttlecock back and forth with the feet, is believed to have originated as a form of foot exercise for Chinese aristocrats. Over time, it evolved into a popular recreational activity, particularly among women, who were often encouraged to practice the art of footwork as part of their education and training. This engraving provides a unique window into the daily life and traditions of Chinese girls during the late 19th century. The intricate details of their traditional dress, from the delicate embroidery to the flowing sleeves and wide-brimmed hats, add to the authenticity of the scene. The girls' bare feet, a common sight in traditional Chinese art, are a testament to the importance of foot health and dexterity in Chinese culture. The 'Chinese Girls Playing with Shuttlecocks' engraving is a precious reminder of the beauty and complexity of Chinese history and tradition. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and the enduring power of cultural practices that have stood the test of time.
