EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite 19th-century photograph that captivates the essence of billiards, showcasing both the game's allure and the intricacy of its movements. Taken in 1869, this photograph is a testament to the timeless appeal of the game and the artistry involved in capturing its beauty. The image features a close-up view of a billiard ball making a carom, or deflection, off a dark red ball on a green felt-covered table. The cue stick lies nearby, its shadow adding depth to the scene. The balls, with their polished surfaces reflecting the light, create a mesmerizing display of colors and patterns. The dark red ball, the focus of the carom, is a striking contrast against the green background, adding an element of drama and tension to the scene.
