EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and join the fashionable crowd in this 19th century scene of Men and Women Playing Pool in a Billiards Room. This handcoloured lithograph, created by Jean-Henri Marlet and published in Henry Rene Allemagne's "Sports and Games of Skill" (Sports et Jeux d'Adresse) in 1903, invites us to witness an elegant pastime enjoyed by the upper classes. The billiards room is filled with an air of excitement and leisure, as men and women, dressed in the height of fashion, engage in friendly competition. The gentlemen, clad in tailcoats and cravats, lean over the green baize table, their eyes focused intently on their next shot. Ladies in elegant gowns and bonnets watch with interest, some offering advice or encouragement to their partners. A curious child, peeking in from the doorway, gazes at the scene with wide-eyed wonder, while a dog lies contentedly by the fireplace. The room itself is adorned with ornate mouldings, rich tapestries, and grand chandeliers, reflecting the opulence of the era. The pool cues, or sticks, are poised, ready for the next stroke, while the balls, carefully arranged on the table, await their turn to be struck. The atmosphere is one of refined entertainment and enjoyment, a testament to the enduring popularity of billiards as a social pastime. This stunning illustration, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when billiards was more than just a game - it was a symbol of sophistication and leisure.
