EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Gentleman of the Polo Field: Walters Buckmaster in 1907" In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Walters Buckmaster, a dapper figure in the world of early 20th-century polo, is seen preparing for a match. The year is 1907, and the setting is the lush, verdant landscape of an English polo field. Buckmaster, dressed in the traditional attire of the time, exudes an air of confidence and elegance. He wears a crisp, white shirt, a dark blazer, and a striped tie. A pair of jodhpurs and high, polished boots complete his outfit. In his hands, he holds the reins of his horse, a powerful, well-groomed steed that seems poised and ready for action. The background of the image is filled with the sights and sounds of a polo match in progress. Other riders can be seen in the distance, their horses galloping across the field, their mallets raised and poised to strike the ball. The sun casts long shadows over the landscape, adding to the sense of drama and excitement. Polo, a sport that originated in Persia over a thousand years ago, had become a popular pastime among the British aristocracy by the early 1900s. It required great skill, strength, and horsemanship, and was often played with a high level of competitiveness and sportsmanship. Walters Buckmaster, with his impeccable attire and confident demeanor, embodies the spirit of this noble and ancient sport. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of polo and the lives of its early 20th-century players. It is a reminder of a time when the sport was still in its infancy, and when gentlemen like Walters Buckmaster could enjoy the thrill of riding, competition, and the camaraderie of the polo field.
