Step back in time with this image of a gentleman engrossed in a game of Snooker from the early 1900s, as depicted in The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The vintage photograph, reminiscent of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, transports us to a bygone age of elegance and refinement. The scene is set in a dimly lit room, where the soft glow of a lantern casts an ethereal light upon the green baize tablecloth of the billiard table. The cue stick rests gently in the hands of the dapper player, his eyes focused intently on the cue ball as he contemplates his next move. The cue ball, along with the red and white balls, are poised in readiness, while the other balls are neatly arranged in triangles at the foot of the table. The room itself is a testament to the opulence of the period, with ornate wooden paneling adorning the walls and plush velvet drapes framing the windows. The air of mystery and magic is heightened by the presence of a large, ornate mirror on the wall, reflecting the player's focused expression and the intricate details of the room. Snooker, a popular pastime and hobby during this era, required a great deal of skill, patience, and concentration. The game, which originated in England in the late 1800s, involved potting colored balls into pockets using a cue stick, with the objective being to clear the table of all but the black ball. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of Snooker and its rich history.
