EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri in 1928, we are transported back to the prestigious Ranelagh polo match between the Lords and Commons. The focus of the image is on two remarkable women, Mrs Vaugham Morgan and Hon Mrs Brooke, who exude elegance and grace as they observe the thrilling game unfold before them. Dressed impeccably in fashionable attire of the era, these women epitomize sophistication with their stylish hats and refined fashion choices. Their presence at such a high-profile sporting event showcases their status as prominent personalities of society during the roaring twenties. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate not only the sport itself but also its cultural significance. Polo was not just a game; it was an emblem of wealth, power, and social standing. As we delve into this photograph's narrative, we can almost hear the thundering hooves of horses galloping across lush green fields while witnessing intense competition between noble players. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political debates within Parliament's hallowed halls, moments like these allowed for camaraderie among politicians from different backgrounds. Alfieri's skillful lens captures both action-packed excitement on display during this enthralling match and offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century Europeana photography. This print stands as a testament to how sports transcend boundaries by bringing together individuals from diverse walks of life under one common passion: polo.
