EDITORS COMMENTS
In this monochrome print captured by Alfieri, we are transported back to the thrilling world of polo at Hurlingham. The date is June 26,1927, and the match between El Gordo and Hurricanes is in full swing. Amidst the intense competition, our attention is drawn to a distinguished figure on horseback - none other than the Duke of Peneranda. The Duke exudes an air of elegance and confidence as he skillfully maneuvers his mount across the field. Clad in traditional polo attire, he holds his mallet with poise and determination. His focus is unwavering as he strategizes each move, showcasing both his expertise in the sport and his undeniable passion for it. This photograph not only captures a momentous sporting event but also provides us with a glimpse into European high society during the 1920s. It serves as a testament to how polo was not just a game but an integral part of aristocratic culture. Alfieri's expert use of black and white adds depth and timelessness to this image. The contrast between light and shadow highlights every detail - from the rippling muscles of horses galloping across the field to the intensity etched on players' faces. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of Europeana photography, we cannot help but be captivated by its historical significance and artistic beauty. It reminds us that even decades later, moments frozen in time can still evoke excitement, admiration, and appreciation for both sport and art
