Battersby Billiard Casual Elsie Ernest Foreground Identified Responsible Sister Stockport Strathclyde
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Edwardian-era group photograph, captured in 1906, depicts a casual gathering in the billiard room of the family home of Strathclyde in Stockport. The man in the foreground, holding a cigarette and wearing a relaxed expression, is Ernest Battersby, the photographer. To his left, in the foreground, is May Battersby, Ernest's sister-in-law. The identity of the woman on the left, Elsie, remains unknown. The group appears to be enjoying each other's company, with some engaged in conversation while others seem lost in thought or amusement. The billiard table, with its green felt surface and cue sticks, adds to the sense of leisure and relaxation. The Edwardian period, which spanned from 1901 to 1910, was characterized by a focus on elegance, refinement, and the pursuit of pleasure. This photograph offers a glimpse into the personal lives of the Battersby family and their social circle during this time. The image, taken by Ernest Battersby himself, is a precious historical record of a moment in the past that continues to captivate our interest and imagination.
