EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William St. Clair of Roslin, a prominent figure in Scottish history during the 18th century. Painted by George Chalmers in 1947, this portrait depicts St. Clair as the Captain of the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, highlighting his prowess not only in golf but also archery. In this full-length oil painting, St. Clair exudes an air of confidence and authority befitting his noble status as the 21st Baron of Roslin. Dressed impeccably in traditional Scottish attire, he stands tall with a golf club in hand and a golf ball at his feet. The vibrant colors used by Chalmers bring to life both the subject and the picturesque landscape surrounding him. This painting serves as a testament to Scotland's rich sporting heritage and its deep connection to nature. As we delve into British clubs through Bernard Darwin's lens, we are transported back to a time when gentlemen like William St. Clair embraced their passion for sportsmanship and outdoor pursuits. The attention to detail captured by Chalmers allows us to appreciate not only St. Clair's physical appearance but also gain insight into social history during that era. Preserved by The Print Collector, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in Scotland's past while celebrating one man's contribution to both sport and society alike.
