Faulkner Hurlingham Polo Postcards Rowlandson
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant world of Polo at Hurlingham in 1903, as depicted in this stunning vintage postcard. The image captures the excitement and sophistication of the Polo Series, a popular event held at the Hurlingham Club in London. Established in 1884, the Hurlingham Club is renowned for its polo matches, which attracted high society and the aristocracy. The 1903 Polo Series was particularly noteworthy, with some of the best players of the time participating. The postcard shows a thrilling moment during the match, as two teams clash in a fierce competition. The players, dressed in their traditional uniforms, are fully focused on the game, their expressions revealing a mix of determination, concentration, and excitement. The background of the postcard is filled with an enthusiastic crowd, all dressed in their Sunday best, cheering and waving their hats in the air. The lush, green field, dotted with horses and players, contrasts beautifully with the crisp, blue sky. The scene is completed by the grandstands, where the privileged spectators watch the game from their comfortable seats. This postcard is a rare glimpse into the history of Polo at Hurlingham, a tradition that continues to this day. It was produced by one of the leading postcard publishers of the time, possibly C.W. Faulkner, G.D. or Rowlandson, and is a testament to the enduring appeal of polo and the allure of the past.
