EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri in 1929, we are transported back to the prestigious Ranelagh Club in England. The image showcases a group of distinguished men who played significant roles in the County Polo Association Pony Show. Standing on the left is Major JS Mason, the esteemed Polo Manager, accompanied by Mr Tresham Gilbey and Mr Edward Askew, Secretary of the Polo Pony Association. Sitting gracefully from left to right are Major Phipps Hornby, Captain Maurice Kingscote, and Major TJ Longworth, President of the Polo Pony Association. This snapshot freezes a moment in time during an event that epitomized high society and sophistication. The gentlemen exude an air of confidence as they don their stylish hats while posing for this historical photograph. Their presence at such an exclusive gathering reflects their importance within polo circles. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the picture, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its documentary significance as part of Europeana photography from the 20th century. This image serves as a reminder of how social events like these brought together influential individuals who shaped sporting traditions. Alfieri's skillful composition captures not only faces but also hints at untold stories behind each participant's involvement with polo ponies - tales that have become woven into history itself.
