Jock Hutchison & Three Others George Pietzcker Golf Photo
A posed sepia tone photograph of four gentlemen golfers is presented in this lot, with the crystal clear picture featuring a familiar face and hairdo. Those defining features belonging to the 1920 PGA Champion and 1921 'Champion Golfer of the Year' in Jock Hutchison, standing on the far right with his driver. The camera eye which captured this image was George Pietzcker, a remarkable photographer from St. Louis, who covered the golf seen from the early 1910's till mid 1930's. During this time period, he was the official photographer for the United States Golf Association creating a visual record of the country's national championships and champions. 2011 World Golf Hall of Famer Hutchison won 14 times on the PGA Tour. Born in St Andrews, Fife, Scotland, Hutchison became a United States citizen in 1920, proudly proclaiming his new citizenship a year returning home to St Andrews while receiving the Claret Jug. It comes stamped (Clemens Avenue) in the front lower right hand corner with the early Pietzcker, St. Louis marking. Original Pietzcker's are seldom seen especially from this early St. Louis time period prior to him moving his studio to Miami Beach, Fl in the mid-1930's.
Pencil has been added to the George Pietzcker embossment. 14" x 11"
