EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful caricature by Philippe Ledoux captures the essence of Horner, a man known for his love of sport and relaxation. Dated circa 1930, the postcard image depicts Horner in a playful setting, engaged in a game of billiards or snooker. The cue in his hand and the thoughtful expression on his face suggest a deep concentration and focus on the game. The artist's use of exaggerated features, such as Horner's prominent nose and bushy eyebrows, adds to the light-hearted and humorous tone of the caricature. The 1930s were a time when billiards and snooker were popular pastimes for many people, and this image captures the spirit of the era. The elegant surroundings of the billiard room, with its green felt table and ornate decorations, further emphasize the refined nature of the game. Horner's attire, complete with a smart jacket and tie, adds to the sense of sophistication and leisure. Philippe Ledoux was a renowned French caricaturist, known for his wit and humor. His work was published in various magazines and journals, and this postcard image is a testament to his talent for capturing the essence of his subjects in a playful and engaging way. The caricature of Horner is a charming reminder of the pastime's enduring appeal and the joy of a good game of billiards or snooker.
