EDITORS COMMENTS
This trade card, published by Maple & Co. Ltd. between 1885 and 1895, showcases a beautifully detailed illustration of a carved mahogany roulette, card, and games table, accompanied by the game of Billiard Nicolas. The image, bathed in a warm, inviting light, is set against a clean, beige background, creating a striking contrast that draws the viewer's attention to the intricately designed table and the elegant billiard cue. The table, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details, exudes an air of sophistication and luxury. The green baize surface is perfectly smooth, ready for a game of billiards. The roulette wheel, with its numbered segments and spinning ball, adds an element of chance to the scene. The text below the illustration reads "Maple & Co. Ltd. Carved Mahogany Roulette, Card and Games Table. Billiard Nicolas." The elegant, cursive font complements the overall design of the card. The use of white text on the beige background makes the information easy to read, while the horizontal orientation of the card allows for ample space to display the illustration and text. This trade card, a relic from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's love for games of chance and luxury home furnishings. The image, with its intricate details and warm color palette, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the excitement and enjoyment that came with owning such a magnificent piece of furniture.
