EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Polo in India" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the leisurely and social pastimes of that era. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II and engraved by H Werdmuller, this illustration was originally featured in the Illustrated London News on June 17,1893. The scene showcases a thrilling polo match set against the backdrop of rural India. The Victorian-style hand-colouring adds an exquisite touch to this historical artwork. A group of elegantly dressed players on horseback can be seen engaged in an intense game, skillfully maneuvering their ponies across the field. The horses themselves are beautifully depicted with great attention to detail. As we delve deeper into this image, we witness not only a sporting event but also a cultural exchange between Europe and Asia. This fusion is evident through the presence of both English players and Indian locals participating in this exhilarating sport. The print captures more than just a game; it encapsulates history, artistry, and cross-cultural connections. It serves as a reminder of how sports have long been used as bridges between different societies. Preserved within Bernard Platman's Antiquarian Collection, this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its significance as a window into our shared human experiences throughout time.
