Coloured lithograph, "The Drive" Golf, after Douglas Adams (1853-1920)

Very beautiful old print depicting a golfer in mid-swing, set in a vast landscape of links by the water. The composition, particularly successful, shows the player in the foreground, his silhouette animated by the movement of the swing, while two other characters and a young caddie complete the scene. The costumes, clubs, and golf bags charmingly reflect the world of British golf from the late 19th century. The work bears the inscription "Painted by Douglas Adams" in the margin and is associated with the London publisher Henry Graves & Co., renowned for its high-quality art editions. A beautiful old impression (circa 1894) with colour highlights, presented in its frame. A decorative and historical piece, ideal for a characterful interior, an office, a club-house, or for a collector of old sports iconography.
