EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the late Victorian era with this charming and unique New Year greeting card, shaped like a badminton racquet with a shuttlecock and butterfly perched on top. Dating back to the 1890s, this intricately designed card is a testament to the popularity of badminton as a fashionable pastime during this period. The racquet, with its brown, orange, and grey stripes, is depicted in exquisite detail, from the beige handle to the black markings on the shaft. The shuttlecock, with its orange and white feathers, balances precariously on the strings, while a pair of elegant butterflies, with their black and grey wings adorned with intricate patterns, flutter nearby. The card's vintage charm is further accentuated by the subtle texture and aging, adding to its antique allure. This card is not only a beautiful addition to any vintage collection but also a delightful way to celebrate the New Year with a touch of nostalgia and sporting elegance.
