“Golf” — Horace Hutchinson
“Spy” (Leslie Ward), Vanity Fair, 1890 · chromolithograph
What it is
The first golfer admitted to Vanity Fair’s gallery of the notable — amateur champion, essayist, the game’s first man of letters.
Why it matters
When Vanity Fair caricatured you, you had arrived; in 1890, golf arrived.
What to notice
The stance is drawn with a caricaturist’s cruelty and a golfer’s accuracy at once.
To be teased in print is a kind of knighthood.
