The Sabbath Breakers - A Colorful Glimpse into Golf's History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Sabbath Breakers" takes us back in time to the 16th century when two men were caught playing golf on a sacred day - the Sabbath. The image, a color lithograph by John Charles Dollman, beautifully captures the essence of this historical moment. Intriguingly, this illustration is featured in Robert Browning's book, "A History of Golf, The Royal and Ancient Game" published in 1955. It offers a fascinating insight into the origins and evolution of golf as we know it today. The scene depicts two men dressed in traditional attire from that era - their hats and clothes reflecting the fashion of the time. While one might expect them to be engaged in religious activities on such a holy day, they instead find themselves engrossed in an early form of golf. This artwork not only showcases the sport's rich history but also raises questions about society's perception of leisure activities during religious observances. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought moments of joy and recreation amidst their devotion. Through its vibrant colors and intricate details, this lithograph transports us to another era while reminding us that human nature has always craved both spiritual fulfillment and leisure pursuits.
