George Pietzcker is the most famous (and collectible) golf photographer in history. His exquisite works sell for a huge premium over every other golf photographer, as his work is seen as artwork as much as photography.

This is an original photograph by Pietzcker of the great Harold Hilton in 1911. Hilton famously won 7 Major Championships in his career, but his peak was in 1911 when he captured both the British Amateur and United States Amateur titles in the same year. This stunning oversized photograph of Harold Hilton features a waving Union Jack flag in the background. 

This rare large format original Pietzcker photograph measures 19" 7/8 x 15 7/8". Very good condition. George Pietzcker stamp on bottom right. The quality of this photograph cannot be overstated, as it is truly stunning in person. 

This original Pietzcker large format photograph of Harold Hilton has been part on the World Golf Hall of Fame for many years. If you ever visited the World Golf Hall of Fame, you likely saw this large photograph on display. It is being consigned today directly by the World Golf Hall of Fame.
