Edman! Which ball do you want scored.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century pool scene, created by the renowned Swedish artist Fritz Ludvig von Dardel (1813-1889), invites us to step back in time and witness a moment of leisurely competition among the upper class. The image, titled "Pool Scene" and dated around the 1850s, depicts four men in a pool room or hall, each intently focused on the game before them. The artist masterfully captures the essence of the scene with intricate detail, using ink to bring the men and their surroundings to life. Each figure is rendered with individual character, from the confident Edman, who confidently aims at a pool ball with his cue, to the man in the background, who leans against the wall, puffing on a cigar and watching the game with a casual air. The men's legs are spread apart, their bodies tensed in anticipation of the next shot. The pool table, with its green felt surface and neatly arranged balls, dominates the room, while the interior is adorned with ornate details, such as intricately patterned wallpaper and elegant moldings. The scene exudes an air of refinement and sophistication, reflecting the social norms of the time. This work of art, now part of the collection of the Nordic Museum Foundation (Nordiska museet) in Sweden, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the enduring appeal of recreational activities, such as pool, as a means of social connection and relaxation. Whether you're a fan of history, art, or simply enjoy a good game of pool, this image is sure to captivate and inspire.
