Golf Watercolour By C. Hunt, Duffers Yet!
A charming vintage caricature-style watercolour illustration of a golfer "Lord Stormont Darling - DUFFERS YET!". The subject can be seen holding a golf club, standing in a natural grassy area wearing cap, dark jacket, plus-fours and a red tie. The hand-written title reads: "Lord Stormont Darling - 'DUFFERS YET!", to the right of the figure is the artist's signature: C. Hunt. This is a very good interpretation of one of the golfing cigarette cards by Cope's. The original cigarette cards by Cope Bros. & Co., Ltd. were produced in 1900 and are the most sort-after set of golfing cigarette cards, with the original artwork painted by George Pipeshank and features many of the great players and characters of the day. This watercolour has been done by a very proficient and accomplished artist who has signed the piece, C.Hunt.

The last image shows a second watercolour, 'Fiery of Musselburgh', also available and being sold separately.
