Ted (The Little Golfer) by Maud Humphrey
20 x 27 - Open Edition Print - Release Price $30.00
Beautiful golf print yes, but also one of Maud Humphrey's finest pieces featuring children and also featured in her book collaboration she did in 1897 with Elizabeth Tucker and published by Frederick A. Stokes. It is titled in this rendition simply "Ted" but the original title is "A Little Golfer". The book sells for $300-$500 depending on the condition and if you can even find one of course.
This print is often mistaken as having been done by Tucker when in fact what Tucker did was the decorative borders and wrote many of the verses in the book. But the artwork is clearly done by Maud Tucker and in all of the bookplates her signature is clearly apparent. This makes the print some what controversial and some what collectable. However, I would never suggest you buy it for this reason, buy it because you love the print and enjoy it!
