EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of golfing in a bygone era. Entitled "Rule VI: A ball must not be pushed, scraped nor spooned" it showcases a humorous and slightly incompetent golfer attempting to make a shot on a picturesque course. Dressed in rustic costume, he stands beside the flag with his club ready, but there is an air of uncertainty about his play. The vibrant colors and detailed lithography bring this vintage image to life, transporting us back to the early 1900s when golf was gaining popularity as a sport. The scene exudes charm and nostalgia, reminding us of simpler times when leisurely games were enjoyed amidst idyllic village settings. Interestingly, this print also serves as an advertisement for Perrier water, cleverly incorporating their trademark into the composition without overt commercialism. It adds another layer of intrigue to this already captivating piece. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded that golf is more than just physical prowess; it requires skillful technique and strategy. The quote from Homer's "The Iliad" reminds us that success in golf comes not only from force but also from artistry. Whether you're an amateur or professional golfer or simply appreciate the beauty of classic sports imagery, this print is sure to delight and inspire all who encounter it.
