EDITORS COMMENTS
by H.M. Bateman: A Roaring Good Time at the Billiards Table in 1918 In this lively and humorous print by renowned British cartoonist H.M. Bateman, titled "A Little Impression," we witness a boisterous scene unfolding at a billiards table. The players, deeply engrossed in their game, are on the brink of erupting into uproarious laughter. The cause of their amusement? One player, in a moment of unintended exuberance, has accidentally torn a hole in the green baize with the cue ball. The table, surrounded by an ornate wooden frame, is the stage for this amusing spectacle. The players, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, are completely absorbed in the moment, their faces contorted with laughter. The cue sticks are abandoned, and the balls scattered, as the players lose all composure. The scene is filled with a sense of camaraderie and joy, as the group revels in the unexpected turn of events. Bateman's masterful use of line and shading creates a dynamic and engaging image, full of character and wit. The print, dated 1918, is a testament to the enduring appeal of sports and the humor that often accompanies them. Whether you're a fan of billiards, snooker, or simply appreciate a good laugh, "A Little Impression" is sure to bring a smile to your face.
