Vanity Fair, 1890–1914

The Spy Caricatures

The classic clubhouse wall, restored to museum grade.

When Vanity Fair caricatured you, you had arrived; in 1890, golf arrived. Horace Hutchinson (“Golf,” 1890), John Ball (“Hoylake,” 1892), and their company — filed, as the caption convention had it, under the man’s home links. THE FOURSOME set gathers four matched plates.
