EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'To the Society of Goffers (Golfers) At Blackheath: Mr. William Innes, Merchant, Plays Golf on the Heath. A Caddy Holds His Clubs,' is an intriguing glimpse into the past of golf's rich history. Dating back to 1790, this photograph, held in the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of a leisurely day spent on the heathlands of Blackheath, London. The central figure in the scene is Mr. William Innes, a successful merchant, who is engrossed in the art of golfing. His focus is unwavering as he takes a swing, the caddy, attentively standing by, holds his clubs ready for the next shot. The serene setting of the heath, dotted with trees and lush greenery, provides a picturesque backdrop to the scene. The Society of Goffers, or golfers, was a social club that was popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Members would meet regularly to enjoy a round of golf and engage in friendly competition. The presence of the Society's name in the title suggests that this photograph may have been taken for the purpose of commemorating a day spent with fellow golf enthusiasts. The attire of the golfer and his caddy further adds to the historical significance of the image. Mr. Innes is dressed in the fashionable clothing of the time, while the caddy wears traditional Scottish attire, complete with a tartan kilt. This attire is a nod to the Scottish origins of the game of golf and the strong connections between Scotland and England during this period. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of golf and its social significance during the late 18th century. The image's timeless beauty and historical importance make it a must-have for any golf or history enthusiast's collection.
