A man identified only as Tuckerman is caught mid-swing at a golf ball in this view from the Washington, D.C., area, a detail that sets it apart from the broader run of golf pictures in the collection. The photograph comes from the National Photo Company, a commercial studio that documented the city and its surroundings in the early twentieth century, when golf was spreading from private clubs into wider public recreation. The record dates it only to the years between 1909 and 1932, so the exact occasion remains unknown, but the picture still shows the swing style and dress of the period.
