 Picture - Thurston Billiard Room, Catherine Street

We have also very firm evidence that both cues and maces were still being used concurrently from the engraved print depicting Thurston`s original billiard room at Catherine Street (Catherine Street was off the Strand - London, but has long since been demolished) which is used as the front piece to Kentfield's book entitled "Kentfield on Billiards", the first edition of which was published in 1839. This illustration clearly shows at this date that maces as well as cues are in the cue racks, although the players are depicted using cues (see the accompanying illustration).
