EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Battledore and Shuttlecock, 1743", artist Nathaniel Parr takes us back to the vibrant world of leisure in 18th century Britain. The illustration showcases a group of men and women engrossed in a game of battledore and shuttlecock, a popular pastime during that era. The scene is set against an elegant interior with a mantelpiece adorned with decorative objects. Men and women are seen playing the game with great enthusiasm, their rackets poised mid-air as they skillfully hit the feathered shuttlecock back and forth. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as players engage in friendly competition. Parr's attention to detail brings each character to life, capturing their expressions of concentration and delight. This snapshot into social caricature reveals the diverse range of participants enjoying this sport regardless of gender or social standing. Accompanying Parr's artwork are over two hundred illustrations by George Paston (pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds), offering further insight into the rich tapestry of 18th-century British society. Francis Hayman also contributes his artistic talents to this collection. "Battledore and Shuttlecock, 1743" serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of games throughout history while providing us with a glimpse into the leisurely pursuits enjoyed by both men and women during this fascinating period.
