Rountree fwiw. They are out there, in private collections mostly I think. You see them come on sale occasionally. He doesn't at the moment, but this chap http://www.sportantiques.co.uk often has a Rountree or two. I also really like the Ernest Greenwood painting of West Sussex he is selling at the moment.

As Adam notes, his paintings are mostly in private collections. Ben Crenshaw has some. The USGA has several.

Originals of Rowntree's paintings are very, very pricey.

Bogey

If you make it to Rye this year, they have (I think its original) the original Rowntree painting copied in Darwin's book on the dining room wall.

Sean is correct. The Rowntree painting in the Rye dining room is an original. Another original (Romford GC) is owned by one of the founders of the Dormie Club. I've been searching a long time for the one of Littlestone. No luck, but I keep looking.
