EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative silhouette portrait, Issette Miller, née Pearson (1861-1941), founder and first secretary of the Ladies Golf Union, is captured in a moment of quiet reflection. The image, dating from the early 1900s, presents a striking visual representation of a pioneering figure in the history of women's golf. Issette Miller's silhouette is defined against a plain white background, her figure delicately outlined in black. Her collar and tie, typical of the fashionable attire of the era, add a sense of elegance and sophistication to the image. The collar, high and collared, is a common feature of women's clothing during this period, while the tie, worn loosely around her neck, suggests a modern and progressive approach to fashion. The portrait of Issette Miller offers a glimpse into the past, when golf was still a nascent sport for women. In 1903, she founded the Ladies Golf Union, an organization dedicated to promoting and governing the game for women in the United Kingdom. Her leadership and dedication played a crucial role in the development of women's golf, paving the way for future generations of female golfers. The silhouette format, popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, was a common choice for portrait photography at the time. It allowed for a simple yet effective representation of the subject, emphasizing their silhouette and creating a timeless, almost ethereal quality to the image. In the case of Issette Miller, the silhouette format serves to highlight her strong character and determination, making this portrait a fitting tribute to a remarkable woman and her significant contribution to the history of golf.
