Impressive Original Bobby Jones Photograph
c. 1920s
The Perry Maxwell Collection
Green Jacket
Auctions is proud to have the opportunity to auction a spectacular collection of
original, vintage photographs from famed golf course architect Perry Maxwell.
Perry Maxwell designed courses from 1913 to 1951, and designed or re-designed
such historic courses as Prairie Dunes, Crystal Downs, Augusta National, Cypress
Point, Pine Valley, Merion, Colonial, Southern Hills and The National Golf
Links. Maxwell is probably best known for his partnership with Alister
Mackenzie, which lasted for over 10 years and resulted in the creation of
Crystal Downs and the University of Michigan golf course, among others.
These original photographs were recently discovered in a Maxwell relative's old home, and
had been perfectly preserved in the same alphabetized file that Maxwell himself
stored them in before his death over 50 years ago. Each photograph depicts
a golf course that Maxwell had a hand in designing or re-designing. For
instance, his personal collection includes spectacular photographs of Augusta
National Golf Club, where he re-designed 11 holes in 1937 and 1938, and Pine
Valley, where he re-designed 3 holes in 1933.
Presented here is an original circa 1920s photo of Bobby Jones from the private
collection of famed golf course architect Perry Maxwell. This spectacular
high-quality photograph beautifully depicts Bobby Jones and his impeccable golf
attire, as well as other fine details such as the sand-based green and bamboo
flagstick. This photograph measures 8" x 10", which is quite large for a
photograph from the 1920s.
