Sammanfattning

Beskrivning This is an 1845 engraving by Charles Knight who attempted to update Robert Howlett's illustration which first appeared in 1684. Knight misinterpreted Howlett's image as depicting two arches when the right arch should be a pin. He also thought the table was pocketless when there should be six pockets. Knight did not have access to the original 1684 edition which included a chapter on billiards. All of subsequent editions of Howlett's The School of Recreation lacked that chapter but retained the engraving of the billiard game. Without that chapter, Knight made grave errors in designing his engraving. This image should not be used in Wikipedia articles as it presents a false depiction of 17th and 18th century billiards.
