1874 Billiard Championship Contestants Monarchs Tournament
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense concentration and unwavering focus of the contestants in the 1874 Grand National Billiard Championship, a prestigious tournament that showcased the best billiard players in America. The image, titled "The Billiard Monarchs," features six prominent figures of the billiard world, each poised over their tables, ready to make their next move. The Grand National Billiard Championship was an annual event that began in 1873 and continued until 1894. It was considered the most prestigious billiard tournament in the United States during that era, attracting some of the most skilled and renowned players from across the country. The tournament was held in various locations, with New York City being a frequent host. The six individuals depicted in this photograph are believed to be some of the top players of the time. Their names are not identified in the photograph, but their intense focus and mastery of the game are evident. Each player is deeply engrossed in the game, their expressions revealing a range of emotions from intense determination to quiet contemplation. The billiard tables in the background are meticulously set up, with the green felt and ivory balls creating a striking contrast against the dark wood of the tables. The cues, held firmly in the hands of the players, are poised to make their next move, adding to the sense of anticipation and excitement in the room. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of billiards in the late 19th century, offering a unique perspective on the dedication, skill, and passion of the players who competed in this prestigious tournament. The Billiard Monarchs continue to captivate viewers with their timeless image and the enduring appeal of the game of billiards.
