1919 Large photograph of Tom Newman, the top billiards expert of Great Britain, as he invaded America to take on all comers. Taken from early in his career, he would become the best player in the world during the 1920's, winning the world championship six times between 1921-1930! This is his earliest and best photograph we have ever seen, issued by the Central Press and stamped on the back with a large paper caption as well. The photo presents well with an exceptionally clear image and despite some wear to the top border and corners, it looks pretty nice.
