Authentic Eisenhower "Bobby Jones" Print Signed by Bobby Jones

         Presented here is one of the most famous golf prints of all-time.  Amazingly, the painting which inspired this print is more famous for the person who copied the painting than the one who first painted it.  While this painting of Bobby Jones was first created by portrait painter Thomas Stevens, Stevens encouraged President Dwight D. Eisenhower to take up painting and this was one of the General's first completed works.  As reported by TIME Magazine, President Eisenhower presented the painting to Bobby Jones on Saturday, March 7, 1953 after spending 6 weeks working on the project, as depicted in the photograph provided below.  The humble Eisenhower did not think much of his painting, and described his painting ability as "awkward" in that presentation ceremony.

        But, apparently, Bobby Jones was very fond of the gesture by the great President, as presented here is an actual, original print of the Eisenhower painting that was given by Bobby Jones to Suffield Country Club.  The bottom of the print contains Jones' handwritten notation to the club and his signature. 

        This print has suffered some water damage, but no attempt has yet been made to professionally restore it, and it still remains a stunning original example of this famous painting.  The original painting hangs at Augusta National; this original signed print can hang in the house of the winning bidder.
