EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1899 in Vladivostok, Russia, we find Frederick S. Pray, David M. Clarkson, and Sarah E. Smith, gathered around a billiard table. The image captures a moment of leisure and relaxation, as the trio engages in a friendly game of billiards. Eleanor Lord Pray, the photographer, described this scene in a letter dated January 21, 1898. She wrote, "Mr. Clarkson came last evening to play billiards and they played till around half past ten." The presence of the billiard table in their home brought a new dimension to their social life. Eleanor continued, "It is very nice to have the billiard table, for now if gentlemen drop in to spend the evening, we can bundle them off up to the billiard-room and Sarah and I can read or sew, or do what we like." The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of American expatriates in Russia during the late 19th century. The elegantly dressed figures of Frederick, David, and Sarah, with their serious expressions and focused gaze on the game, convey a sense of sophistication and refinement. The billiard room, with its ornate decor and large windows, serves as a fitting backdrop to this scene of camaraderie and entertainment. This image, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Pray family's expatriate life in Vladivostok, Russia, invites us to explore the history and traditions of a bygone era. The figures of Frederick, David, and Sarah, engaged in a simple yet enjoyable pastime, remind us of the universal human desire for companionship and relaxation.
