The Divotee, by H.M. Bateman - A Humorous Illustration of an Untalented Golfer's Disappointing Results Date: April 23, 1930 Description: This delightful and humorous illustration by renowned British satirical artist, H.M. Bateman, captures the essence of golfing frustration and the unpredictable nature of the sport. In the image, an untalented golfer, dressed in the fashion of the early 20th century, stands dismayed at the results of his tee shot. The divot he has taken from the ground with his club is comically oversized, dwarfing the small white golf ball that lies helplessly a few inches away. The expression on the golfer's face is one of disbelief and disappointment, as he gazes at the ground in dismay. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery and a clear blue sky, adding to the serene and picturesque atmosphere. Historical Context: Bateman, born in 1887, was a prolific and influential British illustrator, known for his humorous and satirical works. He began his career as a cartoonist for Punch magazine and went on to create a vast body of work that included over 10,000 illustrations. The Divotee is a quintessential example of Bateman's ability to capture the human condition with wit and humor. This particular illustration was published in the Illustrated London News on April 23, 1930. Technical Details: The illustration is a print, measuring 21 x 15 cm, and is part of the extensive collection of historical images available through Mary Evans Prints Online.
