EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Owensia (i.e. Onwentsia) Golf Club, Lake Forest, Ill. c1901," captures a serene moment in the early history of golf in America. Taken by renowned photographer William H. Jackson, the image showcases the picturesque clubhouse and surrounding landscape of the Onwentsia Golf Club in Lake Forest, Illinois. Established in the late 1890s, the club was one of the first in the United States to offer golf as a sport, attracting wealthy members from the Chicago area and beyond. The photograph, which measures 8 x 10 inches, was likely taken using a dry plate negative process, a common technique during the early 1900s. The image is filled with a sense of tranquility, as the clubhouse stands proudly amidst the lush greenery and trees, with a few figures in the background, adding a sense of scale and activity. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, when golf was a new and exclusive pastime for the elite. The photograph is part of the rich heritage of golf history in the United States and is a testament to the enduring appeal of the sport. It is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, golf history, or photography, and a reminder of the beauty and charm of the game in its early days. This image is part of the William H. Jackson collection held by the Library of Congress, and is a fascinating glimpse into the past.
