The marionette whose nose grows with each lie is almost a century old, and Attilio Mussino's paintings were first printed in 1911.

It would indeed be a shame to lose the ageless pleasure of watching Sarazen amble along the fairways, wearing the plus-fours and argylls of a past epoch and grinning his Cheshire Cat grin...
