EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical lithograph captures a hilarious scene from prehistoric times, depicting the comical chaos that ensues as early humans attempt to play golf. Created by Frederick Vango Burridge in the late 19th century, this artwork is part of a series illustrating "Primeval Scenes" by H.N. Hutchinson.
In this particular print, we see cavemen clumsily swinging clubs at rocks and bones, trying to mimic the modern game of golf with their primitive tools. The exaggerated expressions on their faces and the absurdity of their actions make for a delightful and humorous composition.
Burridge's attention to detail in capturing the prehistoric setting adds an extra layer of charm to the scene, with megalithic structures and ancient animals lurking in the background. The black-and-white aesthetic enhances the nostalgic feel of this artwork, transporting viewers back in time to witness these early attempts at sport.
Whether you're a fan of golf or simply enjoy clever humor, "First Attempts at Golf" is sure to bring a smile to your face. This playful depiction of our ancestors' first foray into sports serves as a reminder that laughter has always been an essential part of human history.
