EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, entitled "3 women playing golf - 'Jackson Sanitorium,'" c. 1890, showcases the leisurely pursuit of golf in the late 19th century. The image, created by an unknown photographer, captures the essence of a relaxing day at the picturesque Jackson Sanitorium, located in Dansville, Livingston County, New York, United States. Dressed in elegant Victorian attire, three women gracefully engage in the game, each poised to take a swing with their golf clubs. The serene golf course, dotted with trees and rolling hills, provides a beautiful backdrop to their sporty activity. The women's fashionable clothing, consisting of high-waisted skirts and blouses, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. Golf, a popular pastime for the affluent, was gaining popularity in the United States during this time. The game, which originated in Scotland, had been introduced to America in the late 1800s and was becoming increasingly popular among the upper classes. The establishment of golf clubs and resorts, such as Jackson Sanitorium, catered to the growing interest in the sport. This historic photograph, held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of 19th-century American leisure activities. The image invites us to reflect on the rich heritage of golf and the enduring appeal of this cherished sport.
