John Henry Taylor's record of five British Open titles is the detail that sets this photograph apart, and the caption notes that it marks his fifth win. Taylor, a Devon-born professional, was one of the three dominant players of the era known as the Great Triumvirate, along with Harry Vardon and James Braid. His Open victories, from 1894 to 1913, helped establish professional golf as a serious sport in Britain. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, though its caption card gives no date.
