Harold H. Hilton Signed Large Format Print by Perkins Bacon & Co.
With one of the best resumes in golf at the time, Harold Hilton passed away in 1942. Hilton held up the trophy at The Open Championship twice, The Amateur Championship (British) four times and the United States Amateur once. In the year 1911 Harold Hilton won both the British and US Amateurs, making him the only British player to win them both in the same year. Proudly offered in this lot is a 16 1/4" x 21 3/8" large format Perkins Bacon & Co. matted photo print of a posed Harold H. Hilton leaning on his club looking to the camera's right with his cigarette in his club hand on the left. This incredible print is signed in pencil on the white just below the image with an underlined full 'Harold H. Hilton.' Just above the photo on the right side you see when inspecting 'Printed and Published by Perkins Bacon & Co. Ltd. London S.E.' written in script. Perfectly parted hair and a stern look on his face, this crystal clear photo resolution is best detailed in photo number three of the listing. Presented is surely one of the finest pieces containing Harold Hilton's signature, in search of a worthy collection. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
