EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Golfing on Minchinhampton Common, a Hazard on the Ladies Course" takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of women golfers braving the challenges of this renowned course in Gloucestershire. The scene is filled with excitement as these ladies navigate their way through the hazards that lie ahead. With focused determination and graceful swings, they demonstrate both skill and elegance in their pursuit of this beloved sport. The artist, Lucien Davis, captures every detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate not only their sporting abilities but also the fashionable clothing worn during that era. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that golf was not solely a male-dominated activity. These courageous women defied societal norms by participating in an activity traditionally reserved for men. Their presence on Minchinhampton Common serves as a testament to their strength and resilience. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News in August 1890, providing readers with an insight into the evolving world of sports and fashion at that time. Today, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and reminds us of how far we have come in terms of gender equality within sports. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection so that future generations can appreciate the rich history behind women's involvement in golfing while marveling at Davis' artistic talent.
