1867 Leith Links Gravure

with Old & Young Tom Morris

At the 1867 Grand Golf Tournament, a photographer was present to take 3 group photographs of the early professional golfers. This was simply unheard of at the time, though the exact reason for the photographer's presence has been lost over time. That group included both Old Tom Morris and his then-16 year old son Young Tom Morris.

 This original gravure depicts the greatest golfers of 1867. The entire piece measures 16” x 14”, with the image (including names) measuring 10" x 8 1/2".
