EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts an engaging scene of badminton being played in a picturesque 19th century park. The game, popularly known as "lawn badminton" during this era, is shown with its distinctive equipment: players wielding long-handled racquets, or "raquettes," and a lightweight shuttlecock, or "volant," soaring through the air. The lithograph, created after Langlume's original work, is taken from Henry Rene Allemagne's comprehensive publication, "Sports and Games of Skill" (Sports et Jeux d'Adresse), published by Librairie Hachette in Paris in 1903. The image evokes a sense of leisurely pastime and entertainment, as the players, dressed in fashionable attire, engage in friendly competition amidst the verdant surroundings of the park. The handcolouring adds vibrancy and depth to the scene, making it a visually stunning representation of the game's rich history. Badminton, which originated in India and was introduced to the Western world in the late 18th century, quickly became a beloved recreational activity for the upper classes, providing an elegant and enjoyable way to spend a sunny afternoon in the company of friends. This lithograph serves as a charming reminder of the game's humble beginnings and enduring appeal.
