EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri, we are transported back to the glamorous world of polo at the Ranelagh Club in West London. The image showcases an exhilarating Anglo-French Polo match for the prestigious Verdun Challenge Cup, held on 17 June 1922. At the center of attention stand two prominent figures: the elegant Countess of Cottenham and Captain Baillie-Hamilton. Dressed impeccably in fashionable attire, they exude sophistication and grace as they observe the thrilling game unfolding before them. Surrounded by a crowd of well-dressed spectators, both men and women alike, this photograph offers a glimpse into high society during the roaring twenties. Men don their top hats with pride while ladies shield themselves from the sun's rays with delicate parasols. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as aristocrats mingle amongst themselves, creating an air of exclusivity that only such events could provide. It is a snapshot frozen in time that captures not only a sporting event but also a moment in history when class distinctions were still prevalent. Alfieri's monochromatic lens beautifully immortalizes this scene from European aristocracy, showcasing his talent for capturing personalities through photography. This print serves as a reminder of an era long gone but forever etched in our collective memory - where fashion met sport and society mingled amidst friendly competition.
