EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable design for the Opening Meeting Invitation Card of the Princes Ladies Golf Club in Mitcham, dating back to 1894. The image features a woman golfer adorned in an exquisite hat and a floor-length dress, accompanied by her caddy dressed as Pierrot, adding an element of theatrical charm to the scene. Established in southwest London, the Ladies Club at Mitcham was founded with its own separate course exclusively for female players during a time when gender segregation was prevalent. This historical photograph captures not only the elegance and fashion of that era but also reflects on societal norms surrounding women's participation in sports. The artwork is attributed to Aubrey Beardsley, one of Britain's most influential artists associated with the Art Nouveau movement. His distinct graphic design style is evident through intricate details and delicate lines that bring life to this illustration. Displayed within "The Best of Beardsley" edited by R. A. Walker and published by The Bodley Head in 1948, this print serves as a testament to Beardsley's contribution to literature and visual arts. It offers viewers a glimpse into both sporting history and artistic expression from the late 19th century.
