EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 18th-century leisure and sport. Titled "Cock of the Green" this artwork was created by renowned artist John Kay, with additional illustrations by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds). The image is featured in the book "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" published in London in 1905. The scene depicts a Scottish golfer on a picturesque golf course, dressed impeccably in traditional attire. With his hat perched stylishly atop his head, he stands confidently holding his golf club, ready to take a swing. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element from the golfer's clothing to his equipment is meticulously portrayed. This print not only showcases the beauty of Scotland's countryside but also provides insight into the popularity of golf during that era. It transports us back to a time when men indulged in this noble sport as a form of relaxation and socializing. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how sports have evolved over centuries while still retaining their timeless appeal. Whether you are an avid golfer or simply appreciate historical artistry, this print offers a glimpse into both Scottish culture and sporting traditions from long ago.
