Original The Humourist 1930 Ink Drawing of Dud Golfer & Caddie by Bertram Prance
Commissioned cartoonist and illustrator Betram Prance inked and captioned this original artwork published in 'The Humourist' in the significant golf year of 1930. Capturing a humorous exchange between a frustrated player and equally frustrated caddie, Prance captures the confrontation taking place in the weeds between the young man and advanced age golfer. Per Prance's well-practiced illustrative style, lights (golfer hand highlight) and darks (bag shadow on caddie leg) add emotion and depth to this original ink drawing notated below. The Caddie's face is telling, checked out for the day and ready to put the bag down. Pre-WWII original illustrations from published magazines and newspapers are highly sought after, visually appealing and worthy of distribution to the masses (or subscribers). Humor and golf go hand-in-hand, with this visual a fine (art) example.
Mounted below the piece is the print of what was written by Prance in pencil on the image: Dud Golfer: "Yo're getting more and more hopeless!"
Caddie: "I couldn't 'ave less 'ope than I started with." 19" x 16"
