Studio photography in America in the 1950s – here a young woman models sportswear suitable for playing badminton. She holds a racquet and the net used for the game is behind her. Badminton is an indoor sport played using racquets to hit a ‘shuttlecock’ over a central net on a court – similarly to tennis, it is either played as ‘singles’ or ‘doubles’. Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a beach. The game developed in British-Empire era India from the earlier game of battledore and shuttlecock – a vintage 1950s photograph.

Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a beach. The game developed in British-Empire era India from the earlier game of battledore and shuttlecock. European play came to be dominated by Denmark but the game has become hugely popular in Asia, with recent competitions dominated by China. This image is from an old American Kodak amateur colour transparency. It will look slightly soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1950s photograph.
