This 1899 calendar shows golf in its early years of popularity in America, when the game was still new enough to be a fashionable subject for printed design. Edward Penfield, one of the period's leading poster artists, drew it with the flat color areas and bold outlines that made his work recognizable at a glance. Published by R.H. Russell, the calendar belonged to a wave of decorative prints that turned a practical household object into a showcase for graphic style. Its appeal lies in that combination: a useful item for marking the days that also reflects the look of the era's commercial art.
