A Subtle Competition
EDITORS COMMENTS
by H.M. Bateman: A Timeless Satire on Golfing Fashion and Competitive Spirit (1919) In this classic cartoon by the master of social satire, H.M. Bateman, we witness a delightfully amusing and flamboyant display of golfing fashion competition between two gentlemen on the green. The scene showcases the duo engaged in a playful yet escalating battle to outdo each other with increasingly outrageous golfing outfits. The first man, dressed in a conventional golfing attire, looks on in awe as his opponent dons a striped blazer, followed by a bright red jumper and a feathered cap. The competition intensifies, with the second man trying on a leopard-print vest and a monocle, leaving the first man feeling utterly outmatched. However, the tables turn when the first man, in a stroke of genius, decides to up the ante by switching to a complete Highland outfit. Dressed in a kilt, sporran, and a tartan waistcoat, he not only outshines his opponent but also adds an air of tradition and charm to the competition. Bateman's "A Subtle Competition" is a testament to the enduring spirit of golfing fashion and the competitive nature of sportsmen. The cartoon, created in 1919, remains as amusing and relevant today as it was a century ago, making it a must-have for any golfing enthusiast or collector of historical cartoons. This piece of social satire, with its intricate attention to detail and clever use of humor, is a reminder that fashion, like golf, is a game worth playing with a touch of flair and a dash of competition. Bateman's masterful use of line, form, and color brings the characters and their outrageous outfits to life, making "A Subtle Competition" a timeless treasure in the annals of golfing and cartoon history.
