Original George Pietzcker Photo of Bobby Jones w/ US Amateur Champs Von Elm,Gardner-& Marston-All three beat Bobby!
Max Marston, Bobby Jones, Robert Gardner and George Von Elm each claimed at least one U.S. Amateur Championship. Beyond that what makes this photo of historical significance is that each of the three golfers assembled with Jones defeated him in a 36 hole match conducted by United States Golf Association at there Amateur Championship - Gardner @ Merion 1916, Marston @ Flossmer 1923 and Von Elm @Baltrusol 1926. Bobby however in the U.S. Amateur never lost to the same man twice. If the content of the image is not enough to excite you please take note that this image comes from the famed lens of U.S.G.A. renowned photographer George S. Pietzcker. The original Type 1 photo bears the Pietzcker embossing crimp in the lower right hand corner. A flip to the verso side of this 6 1/2 x 8 photo displays the cherished Geo. S. Pietzcker Golf Photographer 5646 Clemens St. Louis stamp. If you look carefully you will find a blemish on top right corner, with very slight surface aging.
