EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in timeless black and white, this print transports us back to the summer of 1928 at the prestigious Ranelagh Polo club. The atmosphere is electric as two formidable teams, Lifeguards and Ramblers, face off in an exhilarating final for the junior colts challenge cup. In the foreground, we see Mrs. Barbara Villar and Col Melville Hare, both exuding elegance and grace in their polo uniforms. Their poised stance reflects their unwavering determination to secure victory for their respective teams. The monochrome palette adds a touch of nostalgia to the image, emphasizing the rich history embedded within every detail. From the meticulously maintained pitch to the grandeur of the club house standing proudly in the background, it is evident that polo was not just a sport but a way of life for these individuals. As our gaze wanders towards the players on horseback wielding their polo mallets with precision and skill, we are reminded of how fashion played an integral role even on such competitive grounds. The 1920s attire worn by these adult women showcases a blend of sophistication and practicality unique to that era. Beyond being a mere snapshot frozen in time, Alfieri's photograph encapsulates an entire world steeped in tradition and camaraderie. It serves as a testament to Europeana photography's ability to transport us across decades while preserving moments that continue to inspire admiration.
