In this photograph taken by Alfieri, we are transported back to the glamorous world of the Womans Professional Billiards Championship at the Burroughes Hall in Soho Square. The year is 1933, a time when women's sports were gaining recognition and breaking barriers. The image captures a momentous occasion as Viscountess Elibank proudly presents the coveted cup to Miss Joyce Gardner, who emerges victorious from the intense competition. Surrounded by an air of elegance and sophistication, Miss Gardner stands tall with her winning trophy while flanked by Miss Ruth Harrison on her left. Both women exude confidence and determination, embodying the spirit of sportswomen in the 1930s. Their poised demeanor reflects their dedication to their craft and showcases their undeniable talent. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how far women have come in sports over the decades since then. This snapshot freezes a moment that symbolizes progress for female athletes during an era where opportunities were limited. Alfieri's expert composition captures not only these remarkable individuals but also highlights the atmosphere surrounding them – one filled with anticipation, celebration, and admiration for these trailblazing sportswomen. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as both a tribute to those who paved the way for future generations of female athletes and an inspiration for all aspiring champions striving towards greatness in any field they choose.
