Not on view

At a billiard table, a tall, thin Frenchman is poised to defeat an Englishman wearing a bag-wig. Spectators display a range of emotions as a greyhound and terrier face off below the table, their physiques mimicking their masters. Queues and scoring dials hang on the wall behind, beneath prints that portray John Wilkes, and a Cap of Liberty.
