EDITORS COMMENTS
Caricature Illustration: Pastimes in Purgatory: Golf by Dudley Tennant (1866-1952) This humorous caricature by Scottish artist Charles Dudley Tennant depicts a bewildered golfer dressed in tartan, his golf club bent in frustration, as he gazes up at a pirate flag waving in the hole above. Created in 1910, this illustration is a delightful representation of the quirks and challenges of the popular pastime. Tennant, a prolific illustrator, contributed regularly to magazines, books, and landscapes throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. In this piece, he masterfully combines the elements of golf and purgatory in a whimsical and amusing way. The golfer's expression of confusion and disbelief is relatable to anyone who has ever encountered an unexpected obstacle on the green. The pirate flag in the hole adds an element of surprise and humor to the scene. The use of tartan fabric and the bent golf club further emphasize the golfer's frustration and determination. The artist's skillful brushstrokes and attention to detail bring the illustration to life, making it a charming addition to any collection of golf-themed art. This caricature is a testament to Tennant's talent for capturing the human condition through humor and satire. It is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can find joy and amusement in the unexpected twists and turns of life, including those found on the golf course.
