Victorian Golf Cartoons - 1895

  The greatest game ever played.

 Victorian Golf Cartoons - 1895

This series of Victorian golf cartoons are by famed American illustrator and cartoonist, Arthur Burdett Frost (A.B. Frost). Frost created thousands of illustrations for Harper's Weekly, Scribner's and Life magazines during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He completed hundreds of watercolors and oils and is probably best known for his hunting, shooting and golf prints that capture the drama of sport in realistically detailed settings. These cartoons are about the greatest game ever played and are from the Scribner's 1895 article, Golf, by Henry E. Howland.
