EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1886 with this charming print from Mary Evans Picture Library, capturing a moment of childhood play. In the image, an elegantly attired boy and girl are engrossed in a game of battledore and shuttlecock. The children's historical clothing adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, transporting viewers to a bygone era.
Battledore and shuttlecock was a popular sport during the Victorian era, enjoyed by children and adults alike. It involved hitting a shuttlecock back and forth with wooden paddles, testing players' hand-eye coordination and agility. In this particular image, the focus is on the joyous interaction between the two young players as they engage in friendly competition.
The attention to detail in their attire speaks volumes about societal norms at that time, highlighting the importance placed on proper dress even during leisure activities. The boy's suit and tie complement the girl's elegant dress perfectly, showcasing their refined upbringing.
Overall, this print captures not just a simple game of battledore and shuttlecock but also offers a glimpse into Victorian childhood pastimes. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when outdoor play reigned supreme and imaginations ran wild.
