Published December 1, 1931
The American Golfer's December 1931 issue included two pages of uncredited golf swing images depicting Billy Burke hitting a drive. Burke, a prominent golfer in the 1930s, enjoyed his greatest season in 1931, when he won four events on the pro circuit. The Connecticut native's biggest victory that year came in the U.S. Open, in which he outlasted George Von Elm in a classic two-day, 72-hole playoff. Burke also reached the 1931 semifinals of the PGA Championship and played on that year's Ryder Cup team, where he was undefeated in two matches against Europe. Instructional golf swing sequences, frequently seen in this vintage golf magazine, are still popular today in titles including Golf Digest.
The premium giclée print is produced on thick (310 gsm), textured watercolor paper made from alpha cellulous wood pulp that is acid free. It shares the same vivid colors, accuracy, and exceptional resolution that make giclée prints the standard for museums and galleries around the world.
The premium photographic print is digitally printed on high-gloss premium photographic paper. The result is a unique silver pearlescent finish with stunning visual impact and depth, suitable for museum or gallery display.
The stretched canvas print is the result of sophisticated digital printing technology in which the image is printed directly onto an artist-grade, 100% cotton canvas. The canvas is then expertly stretched around 1.5" wooden bars and carefully finished with hand-painted edges. An acrylic coating protects the stunning giclée print from dust, moisture and fading. (Canvas may not be available for all prints.)
