EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lord Shrewsbury, the 20th Earl of Shrewsbury and 20th Earl of Waterford, fifth Earl Talbot, KCVO, at the prestigious Hurlingham Polo Club in 1910. The Major, Charles Henry John Chetwynd-Talbot, is immaculately dressed in the height of Edwardian fashion, donning a top hat and a tailored suit. His keen interest in polo is evident as he attentively inspects a fine horse during a pony show at the renowned Hurlingham Club. Lord Shrewsbury's passion for polo was well-known, and he was a prominent figure in the sport's social scene. The Hurlingham Club, located in Fulham, London, was the epicenter of polo in the United Kingdom during the early 20th century. The Earl's presence at the haas become a regular occurrence, and he could often be found discussing strategies with fellow players or admiring the magnificent horses. In this image, Lord Shrewsbury holds the reins of a beautiful, powerful horse, its muscles rippling as it stands still, awaiting his command. The Earl's demeanor exudes confidence and expertise, as he assesses the animal's strength and agility. The photograph provides a glimpse into the elegance and sophistication of the polo scene during the 1910s, an era of opulence and grandeur. The Hurlingham Club's annual pony shows were a significant event in the British social calendar, attracting the cream of society to witness the finest horses and riders compete in various equestrian events. Lord Shrewsbury's involvement in these shows further solidified his reputation as a dedicated polo enthusiast and a respected member of the equestrian community.
