EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Billiardist Morningstar Shooting Pool at Ives Billiards, 42nd Street, N.Y," transports us back in time to the late 19th century and the bustling streets of New York City. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, showcases a focused and determined billiardist, named Morningstar, as he takes aim at the cue ball in the dimly lit Ives Billiards parlor. The century-old photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of billiards as a pastime and social activity. The photograph captures the essence of the game, with the cue stick poised above the green felt table, the balls neatly arranged, and the cue ball ready to be struck. The billiardist's intense concentration and the stillness of the scene convey the quiet intensity that comes with a good game of pool. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the history of billiards and its cultural significance during the late 1800s. The setting, Ives Billiards on 42nd Street, adds to the historical context of the image. The street was known for its vibrant nightlife and entertainment scene, and Ives Billiards was a popular destination for men seeking a friendly game and a chance to socialize. The photograph captures a moment in time when billiards was more than just a game; it was a way for men to connect, compete, and unwind. This photograph is a valuable historical document that offers a unique perspective on the past. It invites us to reflect on the evolution of billiards as a sport and its continued popularity today. The image is a reminder of the simple pleasures of the game and the enduring appeal of the billiard table as a gathering place for friends and community.
