The Lie
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic and humorous cartoon by the renowned British artist, William Heath Robinson, published in December 1926. This image, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans, depicts a moment of unexpected amusement on an 8th fairway of a golf course. In the scene, a golfer, with a determined expression, takes aim at the top of a tramp's hat, mistaking it for the golf hole. The tramp, a common figure in early 20th-century British society, sits nearby, seemingly amused by the golfer's mistake. The cartoon's title, "The Lie," alludes to the unspoken rule in golf that allows a player to mark and move a small obstruction, such as a pebble, out of the way of their ball without penalty. However, in this instance, the golfer's misperception leads to an unintended, yet entertaining, outcome. This historical cartoon, with its rich detail and witty humor, is a testament to the enduring appeal of golfing stories. It is not bound by the constraints of reality, and one need not believe the golfer's mistake if they choose not to. The image, with its timeless charm, continues to evoke laughter and delight, making it an unforgettable piece of golfing history. William Heath Robinson, a master of the absurd and the fantastical, created a world where the ordinary could become extraordinary. "The Lie" is a perfect example of his ability to capture the human condition through the lens of humor and imagination. This print is a must-have for golf enthusiasts, art collectors, and anyone who appreciates the whimsical side of life. Mary Evans Prints Online is proud to offer this exquisite piece of art for those who wish to add a touch of classic humor and history to their home or office. This image, with its rich detail and timeless appeal, is sure to bring a smile to your face and a story to tell.
