EDITORS COMMENTS

This lithograph, created by John da Costa in 1901, depicts a lively scene where family and friends gather around a billiard table after enjoying a sumptuous dinner. The engraving showcases the elegance of the country house's interior, adorned with lavish decorations that reflect the opulence of the era. The players are engrossed in their game, their focused expressions contrasting with the relaxed atmosphere surrounding them. Laughter fills the air as onlookers cheer for their favorite player or engage in friendly banter. This artwork was originally featured in The Graphic magazine on December 28th, 1901 - capturing both its historical significance and artistic value. It offers us a glimpse into how Christmas traditions were celebrated among privileged circles at that time. Through this lithograph, Costa skillfully portrays not only a billiard match but also highlights camaraderie and togetherness during this joyous occasion. It reminds us of cherished moments spent with loved ones during Christmas festivities – sharing laughter, engaging in friendly competition, and creating lasting memories within the warm embrace of a country house setting. This print from Fine Art Finder is an exquisite piece that transports viewers back to an era where leisurely pursuits were enjoyed amidst grandeur surroundings; it serves as both an aesthetic delight and nostalgic reminder of past celebrations.
