EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in time at Blackheath, London. The image showcases two men engrossed in a game of golf amidst stormy weather conditions. The painting by Lemuel Francis Abbott beautifully depicts this scene from 1790, with incredible attention to detail. The setting is an open field surrounded by historic buildings, giving us a glimpse into the architectural beauty of old London. Despite the cloudy skies and strong winds, these dedicated gentlemen continue their game undeterred. One man carries his golf club on his shoulder while his assistant or caddie follows closely behind. Their attire reflects the fashion of that era - both men donning jackets and breeches in vibrant red hues. The windmill in the background adds an enchanting touch to this picturesque landscape. This remarkable print was featured in "Connoisseur Extra No. 5 - Old Sporting Prints" published by Ralph Nevill in 1908. It captures not only a sporting moment but also serves as a historical document showcasing leisure activities during that time period. With its impeccable engraving technique, courtesy of Valentine Green, this portrait transports us back to an age where golf was enjoyed amidst nature's elements at Blackheath Golfers Society. A true treasure for any art collector or history enthusiast alike!
