EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the 19th century and immersing us in the world of the Society of Goffers at Blackheath. The image, originally painted by Lemuel Francis Abbott, showcases two men engrossed in a game of golf amidst the picturesque backdrop of Blackheath Common. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of their era - sporting jackets and wigs that were common during this period. The vibrant reds and greens add a touch of color to this black-and-white photograph, enhancing its visual appeal. These two gentlemen stand side by side, exuding an air of camaraderie and friendship as they enjoy their day on the golf course. Behind them stands a stone structure, perhaps serving as a marker or symbolizing tradition within this esteemed society. This print was featured in The Connoisseur magazine's volume VII from 1903, showcasing its significance even during that time. It is now preserved for generations to come thanks to Valentine Green's masterful engraving skills. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of the history embedded within it but also how sports like golf have transcended time and continue to bring people together today.
