Abroad Award Colonialism Delhi Excellency Governor Pith Polo Pose Presented Trophy Winning
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the victorious British Polo Team of Delhi in 1916, proudly posing with His Excellency the Governor after clinching a prestigious trophy. The team members, dressed in traditional polo attire complete with helmets and pith hats, exude an air of seriousness and accomplishment as they stand alongside the esteemed Governor.
The image is steeped in historical significance, offering a glimpse into the colonial era when polo was a popular sport among British expatriates living abroad. The presence of His Excellency adds an extra layer of importance to the scene, suggesting that he has just presented the awards to these skilled riders.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back to a time when travel was more arduous and communication less instantaneous. The British Empire's influence is palpable in every detail of this photograph - from the proud expressions on the faces of the team members to their impeccable riding skills.
In essence, this print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and cultural heritage. It encapsulates not only a moment of victory for these athletes but also sheds light on the complex dynamics of colonialism that shaped our world during that period.
