EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Polo - Its Social Aspect' by Higgins, transports us back to the roaring twenties and the elegant world of polo. The photograph, dated 1919, depicts a moment of leisure and camaraderie at a prestigious polo club, such as Hurlingham or Ranelagh. The polo players, dressed in their pristine whites and jodhpurs, gather around a group of women, exuding an air of sophistication and charm. The atmosphere is filled with the thrill of the game, the excitement of victory, and the allure of flirtatious banter. The scene unfolds on a lush, green lawn, dotted with spectators and horses, as the sun begins to set over the picturesque grounds. In the background, a band plays a lively tune, adding to the jovial mood of the gathering. The players, some with their helmets still on, engage in light-hearted conversation with their female companions, their eyes sparkling with merriment. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of polo and its social aspects. The game, which originated in Persia over a thousand years ago, has long been associated with the aristocracy and the elite. Polo clubs, such as those depicted in this image, provided an exclusive setting for the upper classes to socialize, compete, and indulge in the pleasures of the sport. As we admire this image, we are reminded of the enduring allure of polo and the unique blend of sport, leisure, and romance that it represents. The players' joyous expressions and the women's captivating presence serve as a testament to the timeless appeal of this noble sport and the social connections it fosters.
