Darwin's famous book covering the courses of Scotland, England and Ireland. Murdoch notes that "The illustrations, from original water colors, help to make this one of the fine books in the golf library, setting a high standard of excellence that Mr. Darwin would never fail to meet in his later books".
254 pp. Illustrated with 64 plates (mostly in color) from paintings by Harry Rountree; printed tissue-guards. 9x7, original green cloth decoratively stamped and lettered in gilt, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed.
First Edition with very faint sunning to slightly leaning spine, ends and corners a bit bumped, minor discoloration spots to front cover, 1" light red mark on top margin; scattered foxing, still near fine and a nice copy of this golf classic. |
