EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a humorous moment from the early days of golf. Titled "Rule XIII: If ye players ball strike an opponents caddie" it showcases a scene straight out of the Rules of Golf published in 1905. The color litho artwork by Charles Crombie depicts a golfer, dressed in rustic costume, taking an ill-fated shot on the course. The image portrays an incompetent golfer who manages to knock over his opponent's caddie with his wild swing. According to Rule XIII, this unfortunate incident results in the opponent losing not only the hole but also potentially their caddie. The comical nature of this rule is highlighted through Crombie's clever depiction and attention to detail. With its vibrant colors and playful composition, this print offers a delightful glimpse into early golfing traditions and etiquette. It serves as a reminder that even in sports as refined as golf, unexpected mishaps can occur. Originally part of an advertisement for Perrier water (not mentioned for commercial use), this artwork has become iconic within golfing circles. It captures both the spirit and challenges of playing this beloved game while showcasing British humor at its finest. Whether you're an avid golfer or simply appreciate vintage art, this charming print is sure to bring joy and laughter into any space it graces.
