EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Cross at Polo" takes us back to the thrilling world of sports in the late 19th century. Created by John Charlton, a renowned engraver from that era, this artwork captures a dramatic moment during a polo match. The image showcases skilled players on horseback as they fiercely compete for control of the ball. The composition is strikingly dynamic, with horses galloping at full speed and riders leaning forward in their pursuit. Amidst all the action stands a prominent cross, symbolizing both faith and unity within this exhilarating sport. The juxtaposition of religious symbolism against the backdrop of intense athleticism adds an intriguing layer to this artwork. Originally published in The Graphic magazine on February 16th, 1895, this engraving has become an iconic representation of polo's rich history.
