EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of respite amidst the world of politics. Titled "The Compensations of Defeat, Mr Balfour on the Golf Links at Felixstowe" this image showcases English politician Arthur Balfour finding solace in the game of golf. Taken by an anonymous 19th-century English photographer, this print is part of a private collection. Intriguingly, the photo was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on August 20,1892. It offers a glimpse into the life beyond political battles and highlights how sports can provide much-needed relief from defeat. Mr Balfour stands proudly on the Felixstowe golf links, his posture exuding confidence despite any recent setbacks he may have faced in his career. The composition beautifully captures him mid-swing, frozen in time as he strikes the ball with precision and determination. Golf has long been associated with power players and influential figures seeking relaxation or strategizing away from their official duties. This image serves as a reminder that even politicians require moments to unwind and recharge their spirits. Through its timeless quality and monochromatic palette, this photograph transports viewers back to an era when gentlemen's pastimes held great importance in society. It immortalizes Mr Balfour's passion for golf while offering us a glimpse into history through the lens of early photography.
