EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "Games room: soldiers playing billiards" transports us back to a bygone era, capturing a moment of camaraderie and leisure among infantrymen. Taken in 1892 by the French School, this image is part of the remarkable "Album militaire" which offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of soldiers. In this particular scene, we see a group of uniformed soldiers engrossed in a game of billiards. The pool table takes center stage, its green felt surface contrasting against their military attire. Each soldier seems fully immersed in the game, focused on strategizing their next move. The dice scattered across the table hint at additional games they may have enjoyed during their downtime. The atmosphere exudes relaxation and respite from the rigors of military life. It's evident that these men cherished these moments together - bonding over friendly competition and shared experiences. This photograph serves as a testament to the importance of recreation within army barracks; it provided an escape from duty while fostering unity among comrades. Stefano Bianchetti's expert composition captures both the intensity and tranquility present in this scene. Through his lens, we are transported back to witness this slice of history firsthand – reminding us that even amidst war and conflict, humanity finds solace in simple pleasures like playing games with friends.
