Vintage Bobby Jones Photo after 1927 British Open Victory

    St. Andrews does indeed love Bobby Jones. This vintage photo was made from the original negative in the 1950’s or 1960’s, and depicts the celebratory mob in St. Andrews after Bobby Jones won the 1927 British Open. The Emperor Jones is carried away by his adoring fans, and is carrying the famous club that got him there – Calamity Jane. Perhaps no photo better signifies Bobby Jones’ appeal to the masses or his adoration in St. Andrews. This photo is a large 11”x14” (27.9cm x 35.6cm), and is in truly remarkable condition.
