**A Masterful Moment in Time: Alfredo De Oro's Billiards Dominance**
This photograph print captures Cuban billiards sensation Alfredo De Oro in his prime, between c1910 and c1915. The image, courtesy of the renowned Bain News Service, presents a moment of quiet concentration as De Oro holds his cue stick with precision and confidence.
A world champion in his sport, De Oro's skills on the table earned him international recognition during an era when billiards was gaining popularity worldwide. This black-and-white portrait not only freezes time but also conveys the intensity and focus required to excel at such a high level of competition.
As one of Cuba's most celebrated athletes, De Oro embodied the country's passion for sports and its rich cultural heritage. His legacy extends beyond his impressive billiards career, serving as an inspiration to generations of Cuban athletes who followed in his footsteps.
This photograph print is not only a testament to De Oro's remarkable achievements but also a window into the world of early 20th-century American press photography. The Bain News Service was renowned for its innovative use of glass negatives and pioneering work in capturing iconic moments, making this image an invaluable piece of photographic heritage.
