The Uncertainties of Outdoor Games in Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous print that captures a thrilling moment on the Potchefstroom course in Transvaal, South Africa. In this vividly colored lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness an animated round of golf abruptly interrupted by the appearance of numerous ringhals – venomous reptiles from the cobra family. The image depicts men and women frantically fleeing from these feared creatures as they slither through the grasses. The sense of danger and urgency is palpable as players abandon their game to escape the potential threat. The chaos and excitement are beautifully portrayed, showcasing both the unpredictability of nature and the resilience of those caught up in this unexpected encounter. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday on January 11th, 1925, capturing a moment that surely became legendary among golf enthusiasts. This artwork not only showcases African wildlife but also highlights how outdoor games can be subject to unforeseen challenges even in seemingly idyllic settings. Through this image, viewers are transported to an exhilarating scene where sport meets nature's untamed beauty. It serves as a reminder that no matter how carefully planned our endeavors may be, life always has its surprises waiting for us just around the corner – or perhaps lurking beneath our feet.
