EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of late Victorian Christmas celebrations with this unique and charming badminton racquet-shaped Christmas card. Dating back to the 1890s, this intricately designed card features a badminton racquet adorned with intricate brown and orange markings, reminiscent of the authentic equipment used during the era. The racquet is held gracefully in the hands of a pair of elegant butterflies, their iridescent blue and black wings spread wide, adding a delightful touch of whimsy and holiday cheer. The shuttlecock, a traditional component of the game, rests atop the racquet, ready for a serve. This exquisite card, with its timeless appeal and sporty theme, is a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the Victorian era. The card's design invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty and simplicity of the game of badminton, while also capturing the joy and excitement of the holiday season.
