EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful engraving, we are transported back to the 19th century and witness a humorous scene of golf at Westward Ho. The print captures the essence of a jovial couple who have just completed a round of golf, but their expressions tell two very different stories. The victorious couple stands proudly in the foreground, with beaming smiles on their faces. They exude confidence and satisfaction as if they have conquered all obstacles on the course. Their body language suggests that they have achieved an impressive victory against all odds. However, upon closer inspection, we notice an unhappy result lurking in the background. A golfer can be seen retrieving his ball from a rather unfortunate location - perched high up in a tree! This unexpected twist adds an element of surprise and humor to the image. Perhaps it was a stroke of luck or simply a happy thought that led our triumphant duo to success while others faced misfortune. Regardless, this engraving reminds us that sports like golf can bring both joy and disappointment simultaneously. This artwork is part of Bridgeman Images' collection and showcases not only the skillful technique employed by English School artists but also their ability to capture moments filled with wit and charm. It serves as a timeless reminder that even in competitive endeavors like golf, laughter can always find its way onto the fairway.
