In this 19th-century engraving titled "The shuttle-cock nuisance" we are transported back in time to witness a charming street scene filled with leisure and mischief. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where men and women engage in the delightful pastime of badminton amidst bustling city life. Amidst the flurry of shuttlecocks flying through the air, our attention is drawn to a little girl who appears apologetic as she interrupts an unsuspecting gentleman. With innocence in her eyes, she pleads for forgiveness exclaiming, "Oh, I beg your pardon, Sir! - It was the wind as done it!". Her genuine remorse adds a touch of humor to this lively snapshot from history.
