EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back in time to the year 1863, witnessing a group of golfers engrossed in their game at Blackheath, south London. The sketch by C A Doyle, published in London Society, beautifully captures the essence of this recreational sport that has stood the test of time. The image exudes an air of elegance and camaraderie as these early pioneers of golf engage in friendly competition on the lush green course. Each golfer is dressed impeccably in traditional attire - long coats, waistcoats, and top hats - reflecting the fashion trends of Victorian England. Despite being a still image frozen in time, one can almost hear the faint sound of laughter and conversation echoing across the fairway. The artist's skillful strokes bring life to each character depicted; their body language conveying determination mixed with moments of lightheartedness. This historic photograph serves as a reminder that golf has been enjoyed for centuries as not only a physical activity but also as a social gathering. It highlights how even back then people sought solace from daily routines through sports like golf. As we admire this remarkable piece from Hulton Archive's collection at Fine Art Storehouse, it transports us beyond its frame into an era where gentlemen would gather to indulge their passion for this timeless sport.
