A Golfing Travellers Tale
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back to the late 19th century, when adventure and exploration were at their peak. The print depicts a scene of both humour and difficulty as a group of golf enthusiasts find themselves in an unexpected situation. In this engaging illustration, we see a young group of golfers who have stumbled upon an inland African tribe during their travels. Carrying their golf bags with sore arms from the long journey, they leave the peaceful coast behind to discover an ideal spot for practice. Little do they know that their arrival has caught the attention of the native tribe. Naturally curious but armed with spears and rifles, the tribal members approach cautiously. The travellers' attempt to engage in friendly conversation is met with confusion and amusement by the locals who have never seen such strange equipment before. As tensions rise, one golfer decides to prove his skills by teeing off into the skywards abyss. However, instead of impressing them with his sportsmanship, he accidentally hits one of their sacred necklaces causing it to crash down onto another tribesman's head. Panic ensues as chaos erupts among both parties; some flee towards the coast while others lurch for cover or grab any weapon within reach - even using golf clubs as defensive weapons! This engraving captures not only a comical moment but also highlights cultural differences and misunderstandings between two worlds colliding unexpectedly in Central Africa. It serves as a reminder that even in far-flung corners of our planet, where life seems peaceful and untouched by modernity, surprises can be found around every corner.
