EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, when golf was not only a sport but also a way of life. The image depicts a golfer facing an incredibly challenging shot, standing on the edge of a picturesque lake or pond. Dressed in rustic attire, this amateur player seems determined to conquer the game despite his apparent incompetence. The humorous cartoon-like illustration showcases the puritan nature of golfing during that era, where rules were strictly followed and players adhered to etiquette with utmost seriousness. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every aspect of this scene - from the golfer's comical expression to his trademark wading through water. Beyond its entertainment value, this artwork serves as an advertisement for Perrier water, subtly suggesting that even amateurs can enjoy their favorite refreshments while indulging in their beloved pastime. It reminds us how golf was not just about skill and competition but also about leisurely enjoyment and relaxation. As we admire this piece from the Stapleton Collection, we are transported into a bygone era where uninterrupted exercise on lush green courses could supposedly strengthen one's constitution against all ordinary illnesses. This delightful print encapsulates both the charm and challenges associated with playing golf in its early days – reminding us why it remains such an enduring sport today.
