The First Tee by Edward Penfield Art Print

Not because it’s cream, but because it refuses to fade back. This 1912 Collier’s cover by Edward Penfield brings a bit of Edwardian sporting swagger into the room a confident woman golfer at the tee, her young caddie in the wings, a big shady tree behind them. The room gains a quiet story and a period wink without going full museum. Hang it in a study, a den, a hallway or a boot room, at eye level above a desk, console or bench. Pairs with aged leather, oak and walnut, tartan throws, brass reading lamps and cream plaster walls. Skip if the wall is already crowded with strong colour work or busy contemporary posters this one wants a little breathing space.
