EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Ivess Billiard Parlor, located at the intersection of Forty-Second Street and Broadway in New York City. Taken by an anonymous American photographer in the 19th century, this historical print offers a glimpse into the vibrant city life during that era. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, revealing men engaged in intense games of billiards and snooker. The dimly lit parlor is filled with smoke from cigars, creating an air of mystery and camaraderie among its patrons. The players are focused on their shots, their expressions reflecting both concentration and enjoyment. Ivess Billiard Parlor was a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. It served as a social hub where people could unwind after a long day or engage in friendly competition. This photograph is part of a private collection but gained wider recognition when it was featured as an illustration for "The New Metropolis" edited by E Idell Zeisloft in 1899. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to the heyday of New York City's bustling streets. It serves as a reminder of how places like Ivess Billiard Parlor played an essential role not only as entertainment venues but also as cultural landmarks within America's growing metropolis.
