EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print showcases two exquisite bookmarks issued by the Glasgow & South Western Railway around 1900. These charming bookmarks were designed to promote golfing resorts that were conveniently served by the railway, capturing the essence of advertising, travel, and sport in one captivating image. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the two golfers depicted on the bookmarks. Dressed impeccably in traditional Scottish attire, they exude an air of elegance and sophistication. Their colorful plus fours perfectly complement their stylish outfits, adding a touch of vibrancy to the scene. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when railways played a crucial role in connecting people with their favorite pastimes. The Glasgow & South Western Railway proudly showcased Scotland's breathtaking landscapes and renowned golf courses as part of their travel offerings. Intriguingly, these bookmarks bear the names HE Taylor and EBH Blackwell - perhaps prominent figures within both golfing circles and railway enthusiasts at that time. While little is known about these individuals beyond their association with this artwork, it adds an element of mystery to this already captivating piece. Overall, this print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Scotland's rich sporting heritage and its close ties with transportation networks during Britain's early 20th century.
