Few golfers of the 1920s drew as much newspaper attention as Bobby Jones, the Atlanta amateur who won the four major championships of his day in a single season in 1930. This glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection shows him with a woman identified as his wife, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified Bain News Service data and gives no date. The Bain agency supplied photographs to newspapers, so portraits like this were made for quick publication. The uncertain dating means the picture is best read as a glimpse of how the press presented sports celebrities to the public.
