This exquisite print, part of a private collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of billiards during that era. Transport yourself to a luxurious west-end hotel where billiard enthusiasts gather for an exhilarating game. The scene captures the excitement and camaraderie surrounding a billiard derby, as players showcase their skills on the green baize table. Intriguingly, this artwork was originally published in "The Days Doings" on May 27th, 1871. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary, reflecting what society was "coming to". The image portrays a woman confidently holding her cue stick - aptly earning her title as "The Queen of the Cue". Her fashionable attire adds elegance to this traditionally male-dominated sport. As you admire this piece, notice how it beautifully captures not only fashion but also sporting prowess. From her poised stance to her focused gaze, she embodies grace and determination. This engraving reminds us that women have always been capable competitors in any field they choose to pursue. Immerse yourself in history with this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. Let it transport you back to an era when billiards were more than just a game; they were symbols of leisure and sophistication enjoyed by
