EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a whimsical scene from the early 1900s, showcasing Rule XXXI of the game of golf. In this comical illustration by Charles Crombie, we find ourselves in a foggy landscape where a golfer is desperately searching for his ball. The misty atmosphere adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the picture. Dressed in rustic costume, the golfer holds a lantern to guide his way through the murky haze. With only so much of the ball touched as necessary to locate it, according to Rule XXXI, he diligently follows tradition while attempting to conquer nature's challenge. The humorous cartoon-like style brings levity to this otherwise serious sport. As Shakespeare once wrote in King John, "I am amazed! methinks, and lose my way". This quote perfectly encapsulates the golfer's bewildered expression as he navigates through adverse weather conditions. Beyond its entertainment value, this image also serves as an advertisement for Perrier water—a clever trademark subtly incorporated into the artwork. It reminds us that even amidst challenging circumstances like foggy weather or losing our way on life's journey, perseverance and determination can lead us back on track. Whether you are a golf enthusiast or simply appreciate art with a touch of humor and nostalgia, this charming print will surely bring joy and spark conversations about both sportsmanship and overcoming obstacles.
