A Threesome & Stymied by Lionell Edwards.
A pair of Lionel Edwards golf chromolithographs entitled "Stymied!" and "A Threesome". The artist is best known for his equestrian art but early in his career he produced illustrative work for many periodicals and these stylish golf scenes are in a manner reminiscent of Cecil Aldin, John Hassall and Victor Venner. Print details "Copyright. Entered According To Act Of Congress In The Year 1904 By Landeker & Brown, London, England, In The Office Of The Librarian Of Congress At Washington".
A threesome shows a young gentleman on the twelfth green smoking a cigarette talking to his young lady partner. An old gentleman can be seen looking over the brow of the hill disapprovingly. On the ground next to the lady is an automaton caddie bag, whilst in the back ground is a silhouette of a horse and trap with a dog following. Stymied! shows the same older gentleman raging at the younger gentleman on the thirtieth green watched by his smirking young caddie and the younger gentleman's female partner.
A great pair of colourful golf pictures with a humorous side to them.
