Billards St. Martin
(0000-1394)

by Josef Fenneker

A woman and two men play pool at Saint Martin Billiards.

Art Nouveau swank of the highest order. And despite the fact that Saint Martin Billiards' sophisticated trappings are about as far removed from the smoked-blanketed pool hall hustles of Minnesota Fats and company as one can imagine, it's fairly clear that these gents aren't all that pleased about being snookered by a member of the fairer sex. Perhaps they should take some small consolation in their competition's plunging neckline. In addition to this poster work, Feuillet produced a number of designs for Le Rire in the early part of the 20th century.
