RALPH MOTT (1888-1959) THE BEST GOLF IS IN THE WEST. Circa 1927.
39 1/4x24 1/4 inches. Lowe & Brydone Printers LTD., London.
Condition B+ / A-: repaired tears in margins affecting the image.
A bold graphic image distilling the Royal Game down to its most primary elements, a ball and a club. Mott designed posters for several of the different British rail companies, and the majority of his images are marked by a modernist approach to design. Here the visual impact is as profound as the implied impact of the golfer's swing. Previously unrecorded.
