EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rule XVI: When ye balls lie within six inches of each other" takes us back to the early 1900s, when golf was a game filled with tradition and humor. The image showcases two golfers in rustic costumes, engaged in a playful dispute over their closely positioned balls. The golfer on the left, dressed as a puritan, seems dismayed by this predicament while his opponent wears a mischievous grin. With calipers in hand, they measure the distance between their nearest points to determine if Rule XVI applies - an old rule known as "the stymie". This humorous cartoon captures the essence of friendly competition and camaraderie that defined the sport during that era. Published around 1905 by Charles Crombie, this colorful lithograph not only serves as an amusing depiction of golfing etiquette but also acts as an advertisement for Perrier water. It is part of a private collection called The Stapleton Collection and remains out of copyright. As we gaze upon this delightful artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it reminds us that beyond its competitive nature, golf has always been about enjoying moments like these - where players navigate challenges with wit and grace while embracing the spirit of fair play.
