Francis Quimet & Eddie Lowery Framed |
Francis Ouimet & Eddie Lowery, the 10 year boy caddie who carried Ouimet's bag during the famous 1913 U.S. Open at Brookline where Ouimet defeated Harry Vardon, the best golfer in the world at that time for the Open cup. This painting, by golf artist Bob Crofut is based on a famous news photo at the time and has also been the subject of a best selling book, The Greatest Game Ever Played, and now a movie of the same title. The Ouimet/Vardon story of the 1913 Open is one of the best sports stories ever, right up there with Seabiscit running against War Admiral, or the U.S. beating the Soviets at hockey in the Olympics, it just wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. This beatiful reproduction giclee is limited to 250 pieces and is signed and numbered by Bob Crofut the golf artist who painted the original way back in 1977, well before the book came out. Also available as a Embellished Giclee where Crofut highlights the canvas with additional paints which adds textures and some new colors to the canvas. All giclee's will be shipped with Certificate of Authenticity.

The modern gentleman notices the little things, and there is plenty to notice about our Signature Gift Wrap. The paper is a custom-printed navy beaded pinstripe pattern evocative of a classic men's suit fabric. The white satin ribbon is tied in a square knot. But we think it's the enclosure card sealed with hot wax that shows we put as much care into the gift presentation as you put into its selection.
