This vintage print captures a piece of London's history with an advertisement for Advert, Thurston & Co Ltd, Billiard Table Makers in Leicester Square. The image dates back to 1907, during the Edwardian era when leisure activities like billiards were popular among the upper class.
The advert is beautifully designed, showcasing the company's expertise in crafting high-quality billiard tables. The green baize cloth and intricate details on the table are a testament to their craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder of a bygone era when billiards was not just a game but also a symbol of sophistication and luxury.
