Historic Original 1894 Freddie Tait Photograph

       Freddie Tait was one of the greatest golfers of his day. He won the 1896 and 1898 British Amateur and finished 3rd twice in the Open Championship before his untimely death in the Second Boer War. Due to the fact that Tait's career only lasted a few years, and he died 110 years ago, in 1900, very few authentic Tait memorabilia exist. This is certainly one of the finest pieces of Tait memorabilia in existence - an actual photograph of the great champion playing golf at Prestwick. The photo is dated on the reverse as "Feb 1894", which is a more than 2 years prior to Tait's first British Amateur victory. With that knowledge, it is safe to say that this photograph is surely one of the oldest, if not the oldest, photographs of Freddie Tait golfing in existence. This beautiful original photo measures approximayely 3"x3 1/2".
