1923 John Taylor Print Engraved by W.A. Cox - Framed
Offered here is a framed engraving print by W. A. Cox. This portrait of John Taylor and his caddy is one of golf's greatest pictures. It shows Taylor, in his red captain's jacket, about to tee off on the original course of The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers on Leith Links, two miles north-east of the city center. John Taylor was three times captain of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers: 1807/8; 1814/5; and 1823-5. The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers is recognized as the world's oldest golf club, although the Royal Burgess Golfing Society was formed in 1735, and also played over Leith Links, but has no documentation to substantiate this date due to the nature of the secrecy of the Freemasons who founded the society. The frame measures 19" x 25" and displays well.
