EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the elegant world of polo in 1936, as Sir Anthony Eden (far left), future British Prime Minister from 1955 to 1957, enjoys the USA versus England match at the prestigious Hurlingham Club in London. Accompanied by his wife, Lady Eden, and distinguished guests, Lord and Lady Willingdon, they form an attentive audience as the Westchester Cup competition unfolds before them. The polo match, a popular social event in the 1930s, brought together the crème de la crème of British society. The players, dressed in their vibrant uniforms, displayed their horsemanship and athleticism, while the spectators, including Sir Anthony and his companions, savored the excitement and camaraderie of the event. Sir Anthony Eden's political career began in the Foreign Office in 1931, and he would later serve as Foreign Secretary from 1951 to 1955. This photograph, taken years before his rise to power, offers a glimpse into his personal life and interests. The image is a testament to the rich history of polo and its role in British society during the pre-World War II era. The Hurlingham Club, founded in 1869, has a storied past as one of the most prestigious polo clubs in the world. The venue has hosted numerous international competitions, including the Westchester Cup, which was first played in 1907. This photograph, taken at the 1936 edition of the event, is a fascinating snapshot of history that showcases the allure and sophistication of polo and the society that surrounded it.
