EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage postcard, dating back to circa 1905, captures a lighthearted moment in the world of billiards. The image showcases an amusing scene where a billiards player, with a cigar clenched between his teeth, has inadvertently sent the cue ball jumping off the cushion, sending a white ball careening in an unexpected direction. The red ball, the intended target, remains stationary in the background, adding to the comedic effect. The players in the scene appear to be in a state of surprise and disbelief, with the one at the back turning to look at his companion with a quizzical expression. The baize table, with its green felt surface, adds to the authenticity of the scene, while the cue and cue ball are poised for the next attempt. The humorous situation depicted in this postcard is a common occurrence in billiards, where even the most skilled players can experience a moment of mishap. The comic element lies in the unexpected outcome of the shot, which is sure to bring a smile to the face of any viewer. The postcard's ability to capture the essence of fun and lightheartedness makes it a delightful addition to any collection of vintage sports memorabilia. The white and red balls, along with the cue and cue ball, are the essential components of a billiards game, making this image a perfect representation of the sport. The players' attire, with their collared shirts and ties, adds to the nostalgic feel of the postcard. Overall, this comic postcard is a must-have for anyone who appreciates the humor and camaraderie that comes with playing billiards.
