Battledore and Shuttlecock — Honor C. Appleton Postcard

Wooden bat raised, a girl in a blue-sashed smock keeps the red shuttlecock aloft while a row of dolls looks on — a granny doll, golden-haired dolls, kimono dolls, a sailor-duck and a penguin lined up like a tiny grandstand. One of Honor C. Appleton's most playful nursery scenes.

A lively pick to send someone who collects vintage toys, or to pin up beside a writing desk.
