EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite snooker room within Mrs Cranstons Tea Rooms, located on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. The year is 1897, and this Victorian-era gem transports us back to a time of elegance and sophistication. Designed by the renowned Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the room's walls are adorned with his stunning murals. The scene before us exudes an air of refinement and leisure. The snooker table takes center stage, its green baize cloth inviting players to engage in a friendly game while enjoying their tea or coffee. Surrounding the table are intricately carved wooden chairs that beckon visitors to relax and soak up the atmosphere. Mackintosh's murals add an artistic touch to this already enchanting space. Delicate floral motifs intertwine with geometric patterns, showcasing his signature style that seamlessly blends nature-inspired elements with modernist influences. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into this bustling tearoom filled with lively conversations and clinking billiard balls. It serves as a testament to Scotland's rich architectural heritage during the Victorian era when such establishments were not only places for sustenance but also hubs for socializing and cultural exchange. This print from the Royal Commission on The Ancient And Historical Monuments Of Scotland allows us a glimpse into a bygone era where craftsmanship met functionality in perfect harmony - truly capturing the essence of Victorian Scotland without any commercial connotations.
