At Northward Ho!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Roaring Twenties Cartoon Excursion into the Frozen Wonders of Arctic Golfing Step into the enchanting world of "At Northward Ho!", a captivating 1920s cartoon by the brilliant Laurie Tayler, brought to you by ILN - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection. This humorous masterpiece, believed to have been created around 1924, invites us to embark on an unforgettable journey to the icy, uncharted territories of arctic golfing. The scene unfolds on a breathtaking, yet inhospitable landscape. A lone golfer, bundled up against the biting cold, stands on a desolate, snow-covered fairway. The North Pole serves as the backdrop, with its iconic ice cap and a playful polar bear observing the action from a distance. But this isn't your typical day at the golf course. The golfer faces a series of whimsical and bizarre challenges that would leave even the most seasoned golfers green with envy or perhaps, a touch of frostbite. A colossal whale emerges from the icy waters, its massive tail obstructing the golfer's path to the green. An Eskimo, seemingly unfazed by the situation, nonchalantly pitches a tent nearby, offering a hint of the unexpected adventures that await. As the golfer takes aim, a flock of penguins waddles across the fairway, creating an unexpected hazard. A polar bear, seemingly mischievous, swipes a golf ball from the golfer's hand, sending it soaring into the sky. The golfer, undeterred, remains focused, his determination unwavering. "At Northward Ho!" is a testament to the indomitable spirit of golfers and their unyielding commitment to their sport, even in the most inhospitable conditions. This charming cartoon, filled with wit and humor, offers a delightful glimpse into the spirit of adventure and the quirks of the Roaring Twenties.
