Lot 384: Mr. & Mrs. Francis Ouimet Golf photo (1921)
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Wonderful 6x8 image of the man who helped bring golf into the
mainstream of American sports. This news service photo of Francis
Ouimet and his wife was taken as they set sail to England for the
British Amateur Championship in April of 1921. The clear image shows
the Ouimets dressed in their finest. The photo has some editing
enhancements around Ouimet's face (nearly invisible-just dulling the
photo gloss) and it has been trimmed along the RT edge. Very slight
creases at the TR and BL corners. Otherwise a gorgeous photo affixed
with original caption.
