Harry Rountree (1880-1950) was known as an English illustrator, animal painter and lithographer, however he was actually born in Auckland, New Zealand. He began working for Wilson and Horton Printers in his home city, designing show-cards, advertisements, and product labels. Wilson and Horton also published the Auckland Weekly News, to which Rountree progressed to become their special artist. In 1901 he decided to come to England to seek his fortune. To start with he struggled to make very much progress, until Sam Hield Hamer, editor of Little Folks magazine asked him to illustrate his story 'Extracts from the Diary of a Duckling'. Rountree discovered his forte in animal illustration, which he developed by frequent sketching visits to London Zoo. The book was a success and it was after this commission that Rountree's career began to flourish, and he became in demand as an illustrator.
Noted for his wonderful illustrations of British golf courses and golfing caricatures, with his golf course scenes becoming famous in the 1910 book by Bernard Darwin 'The Golf Courses of the British Isles'. Rountree became President of the London Sketch Club in 1914 and later retired to St. Ives, Cornwall.

Antique Golf Print, Royal North Devon Golf Club, Photogravure of Westward Ho
Located in Oxfordshire, GB
Royal North Devon Golf Club 1893 by Mayall & Co. Ltd.
A great image of the members of the 'Royal North Devon Golf Club, Westward Ho!' from 1893. The figures are all photographs superimposed onto a painted background of the course. In the margin is printed 'Permanent Autotype, Produced by Mayall & Co. Ltd. 73 Piccadilly'. The image appears very much photographic but is more of a photomechanical print rather than a photograph.
John Jabez Edwin Paisley Mayall (1813-1901) was an English photographer who in 1860 took the first carte-de-visite photographs of Queen Victoria.
Taken from Royal North Devon:-
Royal North Devon at Westward Ho! Can rightly claim to be the cradle of English Golf. Founded in 1864, it is the oldest golf course in the country and is regarded as the St Andrews of the South. The golf course is as tough as any of the UK's more famous links layouts and has recently been placed in Golf World 's 'Top 100 Courses in the World' that a golfer 'must play'.
Not only is Royal North Devon a great course, it is also a place of huge historical importance. Inside the warmly welcoming clubhouse, the golf museum, honours boards and the clubs top competition trophies are worth a visit on their own and help to tell the story of the game and this remarkable club's unique place in it.
Above all, this is great, natural golf that is largely unchanged from 100 years ago when Harold Hilton et al pronounced Westward Ho! As England's No 1 competition golf course. RND is pure, raw exhilaration and ultimately the experience of playing a fast running links in a stiff breeze still tests the very best in the game.
Many of the great players of the last 100 years were regular competitors at RND but the greatest of them all is without doubt John Henry Taylor...
