Bernard Darwin Playing Golf
Bain News Service, photograph, before 1925 · press photograph
What it is
A Bain News Service portrait of Bernard Darwin, club in both hands, captioned B. Darwin on the plate.
Why it matters
Darwin, grandson of Charles, wrote about golf for The Times for over forty years and made the game’s reporting into literature.
What to notice
He holds the club like a walking stick and looks straight at the camera, a writer for once on the other side of it.
He could play, too.
