EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases Mr Balfour, the esteemed Captain of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, at St Andrews. The print captures a significant moment in history as it illustrates Mr Balfour on his day of opening the ancient golf club. Dressed in traditional golf attire, Mr Balfour proudly holds the Queen Adelaide Medal, symbolizing his position as holder of this prestigious honor. Surrounding him are fellow politicians and members of the club who have gathered to witness this momentous occasion. The scene is set against the backdrop of a grand house, adding an air of elegance to this historic event. The lush greenery and rolling hills of Scotland's St Andrews provide a picturesque setting for such an important gathering. Mr Balfour's presence exudes authority and respect as he stands confidently with a golf club in hand. This engraving not only celebrates his role as Captain but also pays homage to the rich tradition and heritage associated with one of Scotland's most beloved sports. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when gentlemen would gather at St Andrews to indulge their passion for golf while forging lasting connections among like-minded individuals.
