Darwin's GC of BI

The book contains some wonderful illustrations by Harry Rountree. Does anyone know if the originals still exist - or if prints are available? I've not been able to locate any.

I believe Crenshaw owns at least one original. In fact, I think he mentions it in the forward to the Classics of Golf edition.

Thats a good question. I had heard the same thing about Crenshaw, I think he has at least one original if not more. I'd too be interested in prints.

There are a couple of representations in the St Andrews Golf Museum but I didn't check if they were originals Would be worth an email.

I have never seen or heard of prints of these paintings, however, from time to time a really poor copy of the book is broken up and the plates sold separately. Someone on eBay has broken up a copy of the 1925 second edition and is selling the plates separately, here's a link to one of them.
