Its playful title, Golferinos, echoes the word "golfer" and sets this print apart from the usual links scenes on the board. The Detroit Publishing Company, known for scenic views and souvenir postcards in the early 1900s, made it around 1905, and the caption card classes it as a caricature of African American children. Comic images like this were common in popular printed media of the period, where Black figures were routinely mocked for laughs, so the picture is as much a record of those attitudes as of early golf.
