| Description: |
| Color engraving with hand-coloring, marked "Proof" in lower left corner. Engraved by William Ward after the paining by L.F. Abbott. Impression size 24x15½ on an approximately 26x13 piece of paper, all within a gold-painted frame. With frame measures 28½x21. |
| A Proof copy of the engraving, as per its designation in the lower left margin. Although Abbott (1760-1803) was better known for his 1790 print "The Blackheath Golfer" known as the first golf print to be published, this is the other mezzotint he published in 1812, as he only published two. The subject of the portrait, Henry Callender, was a captain of the Society of Golfers At Blackheath, to which this plate is dedicated by William Ward, per the engraved caption at the bottom margin. Olman's Golf Antiques (1993), p. 134; Olman's Encyclopedia of Golf Collectibles (1985), p. 150. |
| Condition: |
| Not examined outside of frame; appears to be near fine or better and in a lovely frame. |
