| One of the
most famous golf paintings of all time is "The Golfers", Grand Match
at Golf. This Magnificent Historic Edition picture was to commemorate the 150th
anniversary of The Grand Match at Golf, St Andrews during the great annual autumn
meeting of 1844 and widely recognized as one of the most important pictures in
the History of Golf. | |
| | |
| The
scene is set at the 'Ginger Beer Hole' on the 'Old Course' at St Andrews during
the October meeting. The match was between Sir David Baird of Newbyth, Bart and
Sir Ralph Anstruther of Balcaskie, Bart against Major Hugh Lyon Playfair of St.
Andrews and John Campbell, Esq. of Glensaddel . The picture was painted in 1847
by Charles Lees (1800 - 1880) and the original oil painting is now owned by the
Royal Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh. The artist was able to paint true likeness
of the players and the people who were actually there and a key survives naming
them all. The full sized pictures are faithfully reproduced from the original
1850 Charles Wagstaff of London engraving.

| "The
Golfers"
A Grand Match at Golf
St Andrews 1844 | |
| | |
| A typical scene
of the period during the 1840's, when gentlemen and their lady escorts would descend
on St Andrews in large numbers for the Autumn meeting. Great banquets were held
with sumptuous food and where the men (mostly) were known to drink copious amounts
of excellent wine and port. Golf was also the order of the day and important competitions
were played for, in which reputations were often at stake and of course the gambling,
where large sums of money changed hands. | |
| | |
| The painting is
available in three different size of prints and also in a Limited Edition of only
85 pictures in oleograph format: chromolithograph printed with oil paint on canvas
in imitation of an oil painting. | |
