EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense final match of the Optimists versus Someries house open challenge cup at the prestigious Roehampton Club. Taken in May 1939, this image showcases a moment frozen in time from the glamorous world of polo. In this historic snapshot, we see four distinguished players representing The Optimists team: E D Fanshawe, Maharaja Jaipur, Raj Kumar Prithi Singh, and W L Horbury. Standing proudly with their mallets in hand, they exude confidence and determination as they prepare to take on their opponents. The atmosphere is electric as spectators fill the stands, eagerly watching every move made by these skilled athletes. Polo ponies stand poised and ready for action on the beautifully manicured field behind them. Photographer Alfieri has masterfully captured not only a sporting event but also an insight into European society during this era. This group photograph offers a glimpse into the personalities and camaraderie shared among these influential individuals who were part of high society. With its monochrome aesthetic, this print transports us back to a bygone era where elegance and sophistication reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder of both the timeless appeal of polo as well as our fascination with capturing moments that define history
