EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant Gymkhana Races of the HongKong Polo Club in 1890. The Fai-Tee Stakes, a prestigious event of that time, is beautifully captured by an unknown creator. The image showcases the colonial era in Hong Kong under British rule, with men dressed impeccably in Victorian attire. Their presence exudes elegance and sophistication as they gather for this social sporting event. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as spectators eagerly await the start of the race. Newspapers from that era are seen scattered around, emphasizing the significance of this occasion within society at that time. This photograph not only captures a thrilling horse race but also provides a glimpse into the cultural and historical context of 19th-century Hong Kong. The attention to detail in this image is remarkable; every aspect has been meticulously preserved through time. It serves as a visual reminder of how sports have always played an integral role in bringing people together across different eras and locations. As we admire this snapshot frozen in history, we can't help but wonder about the stories behind these individuals - their hopes, dreams, and aspirations intertwined with this exhilarating moment on those hallowed grounds of the HongKong Polo Club.
