EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Billiard Break (February 1900)" takes us back in time to the heart of the Boer War. The image captures a haunting scene at the Buffalo Club in Kimberley, where a once elegant Thurston billiard table now lies wrecked and shattered by a shell attack from the trenches. The devastation is evident as we observe the landscape of destruction that surrounds this male game tabletop. Amidst the debris and remnants of what was once a cherished sport, it becomes clear that even leisure activities were not spared during times of conflict. The composition's monochromatic tones add an air of solemnity to this powerful photograph. It serves as a poignant reminder of how war can disrupt even the most mundane aspects of life, such as recreational games like billiards or snooker. As our gaze lingers on this evocative piece, we are transported to Africa during a tumultuous period in history. The image encapsulates both the resilience and vulnerability of humanity against the backdrop of warfare. Displayed prominently within any space, this print from Fine Art Storehouse offers viewers an opportunity for reflection and contemplation. It invites us to ponder not only past conflicts but also our collective responsibility to strive for peace in all corners of our world.
