Possibly the frontispiece to François Mingaud, ,Noble jeu de billard. Coups extraordinaires et surprenants, qui ont fait l'admiration de la majeure partie des souverains de l'Europe. Exécutés par Mr. Mingaud, ancien capitaine d'Infanterie au service de France', Paris: privately printed, 1827. [David Hansen].
The printed image has been cut from a publication and prepared for photography to create a printing block. The red ink is from a ballpoint pen, so probably in the 1950s.
