EDITORS COMMENTS
August 19, 1903: A Rank Foozler - The Unforgettable Golfing Mishap of William Jennings Bryan This humorous illustration captures a moment of frustration and determination from a historical figure, former Secretary of State and three-time presidential nominee, William Jennings Bryan. The cartoon, published in a magazine around August 19, 1903, depicts Bryan as a golfer, embroiled in a sand trap, attempting to hit a golf ball with a club labeled "Spite." The ball, also labeled "Cleveland," bears Bryan's likeness. Surrounding Bryan, shafts of broken golf clubs lie in the sand, each one labeled with negative emotions: "Envy," "Jealousy," "Malice," and "Cussedness." A hat labeled "Bryan" lies in the grass nearby, and a marker in the background reads "16 to 1," possibly referencing the odds against Bryan during one of his presidential campaigns. Bryan's unyielding spirit is evident as he persists in his endeavor, despite the setbacks. This lighthearted portrayal offers a glimpse into the human side of a prominent historical figure, reminding us that even those with great influence and ambition can experience the occasional misfortune on the golf course. This cartoon is a testament to the enduring appeal of golf and the universal experience of facing adversity, making it an intriguing addition to any collection of historical or sports-themed art.
