Golf in the Rain was one of sixty three photographs chosen for inclusion oin Bill Brandt's first book, his celebrated English at Home (1936). Based on photographs taken in the two preceeding years by Brandt who had only just arrived in England, they show an outsider's view that frequently makes the ordinary extraordinary, and ranges from the prosaic to the peculiar. The present work has a sense of romance and glamour, but must also have attracted Brandt for the unusualness of its subject matter: a female golfer with her caddy.
