Original 1899 Boston Sunday Globe 4-Color Golf Cartoon/Illustration
Golf is a funny game, and on occasion a rather frustrating one too. This was known on April 16, 1899 prior to the sport sweeping the nation like it would in the coming years. Printed in the Boston Sunday Globe is this colored illustration titled 'The Golfers' Retreat' of five golfers that had accomplished a feat to never replicate it. "This man made a thirty-yard par, which quickly turned his brain and though he tries as hard as he can he never will do it again," describes the first downdraught gentleman. Humor is necessary for this sport, with this pre-1900 newspaper page starting things off on the right track. 18 1/2" x 14"
