EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, created by Dominique Bosio in 1817, depicts a delightful scene of elegant ladies engaging in a spirited game of badminton in a lush garden setting. The image is taken from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, published by Henry Rene Allemagne. The fashionable ladies, dressed in the latest styles, are shown skillfully wielding their raquettes, or rackets, as they playfully chase the shuttlecock, or volant, back and forth across the verdant lawn. Several of the ladies have their hair styled in the fashionable short cut known as the martyr or victime, adding an air of sophistication and modernity to the scene. The intricate details of the ladies' outfits, the delicate flowers in the garden, and the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees all contribute to the charming and whimsical atmosphere of this timeless image.
