Title: What the Motion Pictures Say About the Golf Swing Author: Dunn, Seymour Place: [No place] Publisher: Date: [c. 1920's] Description: Pen-and-ink hand-drawn and written poster by Seymour Dunn, in black ink with hand-colored lines in the center for the different angles of the swing, on card-stock. Provides text and statistical analysis in the bottom margin and titled on the top margin. Measures 21½x18¾" and loosely tipped-in with two pieces of white cloth tape on the top edge of verso to double matting (red and black), loose backing, inside wooden frame with glass front. Rare hand-drawn golf poster, signed by Seymour Dunn on the bottom right corner, made to represent a visual interpretation of the golf swing in full motion (before television was widely available). Exceedingly scarce, with no auction records located nor in any other references or catalogues consulted. Likely one of only a few ever produced, at best. Shows seven vignette drawings of the same male golfer (in the 1920's Bobby Jones style attire and hair) in seven different golf swing positions, each holding a hand-colored club. A circular diagram in the center shows six stages or "intervals of time" of the swing (lettered A-F, with start, point of impact and follow through), represented by hand-colored lines and club head. Provides statistical information such as degrees of loss and gain between intervals and other representational information. Lot Amendments Condition: Occasional faint foxing, a few nicks or insect wear spots, minor wear to verso; about fine. Additional shipping charges will apply. Item number: 160616
