EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by Alfieri, transports us back to the glamorous world of polo in the early 20th century. Standing proudly in their crisp uniforms, we see the esteemed American team from left to right; GC Runsey, T Hitchcock, J Watson Webb, and D Milburn. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie as these skilled players strike a pose with their mallets held high. Their intense focus is palpable as they prepare for an exhilarating match on the prestigious grounds of Roehampton Club. Surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd seated in grandstands behind them, this snapshot captures not only the sport but also the vibrant social scene that accompanied it. Men dressed impeccably in suits and hats fill every seat while eagerly awaiting each thrilling moment on horseback. Polo ponies stand gracefully beside their riders, showcasing both elegance and power. These majestic creatures are essential partners to these talented athletes who rely on their agility and speed during fast-paced matches. Alfieri's expert monochrome photography skillfully highlights every detail - from the determined expressions on each player's face to even capturing a hint of anticipation among spectators. This remarkable print immortalizes a significant event where sportsmanship met sophistication. It serves as a testament to an era when polo was not just a game but also an emblem of prestige and refinement for those fortunate enough to participate
