EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1937, we are transported back to a time of elegance and tradition as we witness the exhilarating sport of polo. The image captures the intense competition between the House of Lords and the House of Commons at the prestigious Ranelagh Club for the Harrington Challenge Cup. At its center is none other than The Duke of York himself, fully immersed in the game with his fellow players. Dressed impeccably in traditional polo attire, he exudes both grace and determination as he skillfully maneuvers his majestic polo pony across the field. Surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, this snapshot encapsulates not only a thrilling sporting event but also a glimpse into British history during this era. It symbolizes unity among members of Parliament who set aside their political differences to engage in friendly rivalry on horseback. The monochrome tones add a timeless quality to this print, emphasizing its historical significance. As part of a collection produced by W. D. & H. O. Wills for The Imperial Tobacco Company, it serves as both an artistic representation and a commemoration of British heritage. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the athleticism displayed by these sportsmen but also offers us insight into their world - one where leisure pursuits such as polo played an important role in shaping social connections within British society.
