Beschreibung

Illustrated. 52 unnumbered pages. The story of this black South African champion with a small section of instruction by him. Signed on cover S. SEWGOLAM "PAPWA". Note the incorrect spelling of Mr. Sewgolam's name in the title; it is also misspelled throughout the book! Laid in is a two-page letter to Dr. C.A.R. Schulenburg of Pretoria (famed golf book collector whose library stamp is on the front cover recto) from and signed by S. Sewgolam's manager F. M. Paul, presenting the book to Dr. Schulenburg, with a listing of Papwa's achievements (over 30 open tournament wins). The letter verifies the correct spelling. Books proceeds were used to send Papwa back to Europe to defend his title. One of the articles in the book makes a case against the apartheid conditions in South African sports. 1" tear to lower cover edge previously closed with cello tape otherwise in unmarked condition. Extremely uncommon biography/history with superb provenance. Covers protected in mylar. Size: Oblong 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 201093
