EDITORS COMMENTS
**Capt. Thomas [Polo] in Action**
This photograph print captures Capt. Thomas [Polo], a renowned polo player of his time, between c1910 and c1915. The image was taken by the esteemed photographer George Grantham Bain, founder of the Bain News Service.
In this striking portrait, Captain Thomas is depicted in mid-ride on horseback, expertly wielding his polo mallet with precision and skill. His direct gaze commands attention as he looks straight at the camera lens, exuding confidence and authority. The composition masterfully frames him against a blurred background of rolling hills or fields, emphasizing his focus on the game.
This photograph is not only an iconic representation of early 20th-century American sports but also a testament to Bain's exceptional photography skills. His work was highly regarded for its high-quality glass negatives, which were later used in publications and archives. Today, this print serves as a valuable piece of heritage art and historical documentation at the Library of Congress.
