EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 18th century, showcasing men engrossed in a game of billiards. The print, dating back to 1751-1777, is part of the renowned Encyclopedie by Diderot & d'Alembert. It offers a glimpse into the interior of a French billiard room, where intricate woodwork and furniture create an elegant atmosphere. The image showcases the skillful players as they focus on their shots, cue sticks in hand. The attention to detail in this engraving brings forth the concept of leisurely sport during that era. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and enhances the overall charm of this historical piece. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that billiards was not only a recreational activity but also an art form cherished by gentlemen across France. This print transports us back to a time when such games were enjoyed indoors amidst conversations and camaraderie. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork serves as a testament to Denis Diderot's dedication towards documenting various sciences and arts during his time.
