EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young and energetic Albert, Duke of York, later known as King George VI, in the prime of his athletic career as he prepares to play polo. Dressed in the traditional riding attire of the time, complete with a protective helmet, the Duke sits confidently astride his favorite pony, a testament to their strong bond. With a polo mallet in hand and a determined look in his eyes, the Duke exudes an aura of focus and readiness. The year is 1923, and the Duke is in his element, surrounded by the lush greenery of the polo field and the vibrant colors of his team's jerseys. The 1920s were an era of excitement and change, and the Duke's passion for polo was just one of the many ways he embraced the spirit of the times. This portrait, taken just before the Duke took to the field, offers a glimpse into his active and adventurous lifestyle, making it a fine addition to any collection of historical images from the 1920s.
