Description
Photograph of girls playing badminton near a swimming pool, ca.1940. A badminton net in the center divides four girls into two teams playing against each other. A girl on the left wears a long dress as she jumps into the air with both arms extended overhead and a badminton racket in her right hand. To her left, a second girl in a bathing suit seems to move towards her. On the right, two girls wearing bathing suits stand with feet on the ground in preparation for a return move. In the background, a group of people sit around a circular table with a large umbrella in the center. To the right, another cluster of people sit surrounding a rectangular table in the background. A pool is visible directly behind the people.
