Miss Jessie Anderson with bandaged wrist

The Age (Melbourne, Vic.: 1854- )Aug/Sept 1935
20 year old Scot, Jessie Anderson, practises her putting at Royal Melbourne Golf Course.  The press speculated that her heavily bandaged wrist was “a sprained wrist, occasioned through an argument with her luggage”, “a poisoned hand” and, the most likely reason, “sprained at practise”.

Featured in "Newsworthy: Melbourne in photographs 1933-1936" exhibition at East Melbourne Library, October to December 2023. Exhibition caption by project volunteer, Fiona Collyer.
