The Ancient Game

S. D. Ehrhart, chromolithograph for Puck, 1911 · chromolithograph

What it is

S. D. Ehrhart’s cover for Puck, 3 May 1911: a young man in a red coat and a woman in a feathered hat, bags on their shoulders.

Why it matters

The Ancient Game is golf and courtship at once, and Puck trusted its readers to get both.

What to notice

His eyes are on her and hers are on the course.

Some rounds are about the company.
