EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print showcases the portrait of Harry W. Stevenson, a renowned British billiards player from the early 20th century. Created by Leslie Matthew Ward, also known as Spy, this Vanity Fair caricature captures Stevenson's confident stance and charismatic presence. The caption beneath the image humorously suggests that if there were a championship for billiards, Stevenson would undoubtedly be its champion. Dated May 25,1905, this artwork reflects the admiration and recognition bestowed upon him during his career. Vincent Brooks, Day & Son expertly rendered this lithograph with meticulous attention to detail. The monochromatic color scheme adds depth and character to Stevenson's likeness while highlighting his facial features. Stevenson himself was an influential figure in the world of billiards. Born on July 15,1874, he left an indelible mark on the sport until his passing on June 11,1944. This portrait immortalizes his contribution to British sports history. Displayed against a neutral background with subtle shading techniques employed by Ward in his drawing style characteristic of late-19th-century illustrations; this print is both aesthetically pleasing and historically significant. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry through their Fine Art Finder collection. It serves as a testament to not only Harry W. Stevenson's skill but also to the rich heritage of billiards as a beloved pastime in England during that era.
