EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Golfers at Blackheath, 1790" takes us back in time to witness a gentleman golfer and his caddy immersed in the sport. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Blackheath, a now iconic part of south-east London, this image captures the essence of early golfing culture. The golfer himself is dressed impeccably in attire befitting the era - buckled shoes, silk stockings, breeches, a frock coat with epaulettes, and a wide-brimmed hat. His caddy stands beside him wearing the less fashionable tricorne hat. This snapshot from history offers us an intriguing glimpse into both fashion trends and social dynamics of that time. Published as part of Bernard Darwin's book "British Clubs" this engraving by an unknown creator showcases not only the players but also their surroundings. The lush greenery of Blackheath serves as a testament to its enduring beauty throughout centuries. As we admire this piece from our collection at Heritage Images, we are reminded of how sports like golf have evolved over time while still retaining their timeless appeal. It is through such historical prints that we can appreciate how far we have come while cherishing our rich cultural heritage.
