EDITORS COMMENTS
HINE: BILLIARDS, 1910. Capturing the essence of youthful camaraderie and skillful recreation, this sepia-toned print takes us back to a turn-of-the-century billiards hall in St. Louis, Missouri. Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine in May 1910, the image showcases a group of American boys engrossed in a game of pool at the Pool Branch Chauteau & Manchester. In this early interior shot, we witness the concentration on their faces as they aim their cues and strategize each move. The dimly lit room adds an air of mystery and nostalgia to the scene, transporting us to a time when billiards halls were popular social gathering places for young men seeking leisurely entertainment. The photograph beautifully captures not only their adolescent energy but also highlights their dexterity and mastery over the game. Each player's body language tells a story - from poised anticipation to confident execution - showcasing both individuality and shared passion for this beloved pastime. Lewis Hine's exceptional talent shines through as he expertly freezes this moment in time, immortalizing these young boys' joyous pursuit of recreation amidst an era marked by rapid industrialization and societal change. This print from The Granger Collection serves as a reminder that even within bustling cities like St. Louis during the early 1900s, moments of youthful playfulness could still be found.
