A propos de cet article

Octavo, Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. Not dated, but inscription is dated 1906. Bound in green morocco. A lovely set with notable provenance linking two pioneering women golfers. Vol. I is inscribed, "To / Georgianna Millington Bishop / from / Elsa Alexander Enos." Bishop (1878-1971) won the U.S. women's amateur championship at Merion in 1904. She was inducted into the Connecticut Golf Hall of Fame after winning its state champtionship four times in the 1920s.Enos (1865-1962) was also from Connecticut, and she served as president of the Women's Golfing Association of America. 2800+ total pages. Volumes measure 8 by 5. 25 inches. Marbled endpapers. Ribbon page markers. Spines lightly sunned. Minimal wear and rubbing. All bindings sound and tight. Apart from the inscription, no signatures or bookplates. An attractive, well-preserved set with direct association to two important early figures in women's golf. Robert Browning (7 May 1812 - 12 December 1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, especially dramatic monologues,made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. At a dinner party on 7 April 1889, at the home of Browning's friend the artist Rudolf Lehmann, an Edison cylinder phonograph recording was made on a white wax cylinder. In the recording, which still exists, Browning recites part of "How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix" (and can be heard apologizing when he forgets the words). When the recording was played in 1890 on the anniversary of his death, at a gathering of his admirers, it was said to be the first time anyone's voice "had been heard from beyond the grave."
