    Early 1900s Pool Hall Scene with Engaged Player

    $19.95

    This intriguing photograph captures Morris Brown, a notable figure in early 20th-century America, immersed in a game of pool during the years 1910 to 1915. Browns engagement in this popular recreational activity illustrates the social atmosphere of the time, when billiards was not just a pastime but also a gathering point for camaraderie and community interactions. The photograph gives us a glimpse into leisure activities that were prevalent in American culture, reflecting how people sought enjoyment and diversion in the wake of societal changes spurred by the Industrial Revolution.

    The image is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, known for its rich documentation of American life through photojournalism. The Bain News Service utilized glass negatives to produce striking images like this one, which served to entertain the public while also providing insight into daily life during that era. Pool halls and similar venues became important social hubs where friendships were forged over the green felt of a billiards table, illustrating the blend of competition and companionship inherent in such activities. Through this photograph, we not only witness Morris Browns moment of leisure but also connect with broader historical patterns of social engagement in early 20th-century America.
