EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph transports us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the vibrant billiard saloons of London. The image, part of Aubrey Hammond's collection, captures the essence of leisure and entertainment during this era. The scene depicts a bustling billiard saloon filled with men engrossed in their cue sport games. Their focused expressions reveal their dedication to perfecting their shots as they engage in friendly competition. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and relaxation, where spare time is spent engaging in this popular parlour game. The artist's attention to detail brings every aspect of the saloon to life - from the intricately designed billiard tables adorned with cues and balls, to the ornate decor that exudes an air of sophistication. This illustration was originally featured in Lewis Melville's book "The London Scene" published in 1926, providing readers with a vivid portrayal of city life at that time. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that billiards held great significance as a pastime for men seeking respite from their daily routines. It serves as a reminder that even amidst the hustle and bustle of early 20th-century London, moments dedicated to leisure were cherished. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder, allowing us today to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical context within English culture.
