Circa 1890's C.E. Compton

North Berwick Painting

         Some of the most sought-after pieces of golf memorabilia include late 19th century and early 20th century artwork. High quality pieces of early golf artwork are responsible for many golf auction record prices. Offered here is an original circa 1890-1910 watercolor painting of North Berwick by Charles Edward (C.E.) Compton.

        Compton was a rather celebrated landscape painter who wasn't all that well known for painting golf courses, but did paint some in the late 1800's and early 1900's.

        This original 110+ year old watercolor painting is titled "Evening N'Berwick". The painting itself measures 14" x 8", and is framed to 19" x 12".
