EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Golf in India, playing at Secunderabad, Madras" takes us back to the 19th century when golf was gaining popularity in the Indian subcontinent. The engraving showcases a scene of leisure and competition as players engage in various aspects of the game. Set against the backdrop of Secunderabad, Madras (now Chennai), this image captures the essence of early golfing culture in India. From preparing for their shots to driving and putting with precision, these players demonstrate their skill and passion for the sport. The lush green surroundings add an element of serenity to this dynamic moment. The print also highlights some interesting cultural nuances. It offers a glimpse into Indian attire and customs during that era, showcasing how traditional clothing seamlessly merged with this imported British pastime. Moreover, it reflects the growing influence of Western sports on Indian society as part of colonialism's impact on local cultures. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of golf's universal appeal but also its ability to transcend borders and bring people together through friendly competition. This engraving serves as a testament to how sports can bridge gaps between different cultures and create shared experiences regardless of time or place.
