EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and excitement of a pony race for polo ponies in 1893. The image, titled "Pony Race for Polo Ponies" was taken by William Sullivant Vanderbilt Allen, an accomplished photographer of his time. In this snapshot from history, we see a group of elegantly dressed men and women gathered around the racetrack, eagerly watching as the horses thunder past. The spectators are adorned in fashionable hats and attire, reflecting the style of the late nineteenth century. The photo showcases not only the thrill of horse racing but also offers a glimpse into society at that time. It portrays both male and female participants, highlighting their different roles within this sporting event. The presence of such diverse individuals adds depth to our understanding of gender dynamics during this era. The composition is expertly framed, capturing every detail with precision. From the muscular grace of the horses to the intense expressions on each viewer's face, Allen skillfully conveys both motion and emotion through his lens. This historic print is part three in a collection entitled "Sporting Incidents". Created by W. S. Vanderbilt Allen with an introduction by Colonel William Jay and described in text by H. Milford Steele, it serves as a visual record documenting significant events on tracks, fields, and roads. Preserved at Newberry Library in Chicago since its creation over a century ago, this remarkable piece allows us to travel back in time to witness one thrilling moment from America's rich sporting heritage.
