Billiards Championship Leading Noted Player Stevenson 1901 Games
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense concentration of noted billiards player H.W. Stevenson as he prepares to make a shot during the 1905 British Billiards Championship. Stevenson, a leading player of his day, made history in 1901 when he won his first championship title at the age of 27. Known for his exceptional skill and precision, Stevenson dominated the billiards scene in the early 20th century, winning numerous titles and setting new records. The photograph shows Stevenson in mid-action, his eyes focused intently on the cue ball, his hands poised above the table, and his expression a perfect blend of determination and focus. The cue stick rests on the table, its tip hovering just above the white ball, ready to strike. The green felt of the billiards table is worn and well-used, a testament to the countless hours of practice and competition that have taken place on its surface. The 1905 British Billiards Championship was a significant event in the history of the sport, and Stevenson's participation was highly anticipated. The championship was held in the prestigious Burlington Billiard Rooms in London, and the competition was fierce. Stevenson ultimately emerged victorious, cementing his place as one of the greatest billiards players of all time. This photograph is a rare and valuable glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of billiards at the turn of the 20th century. It captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the game of billiards was a popular pastime and a source of great excitement and competition. Today, it serves as a reminder of the rich history of billiards and the remarkable achievements of its most celebrated players, including H.W. Stevenson.
