EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Polo at Ranelagh. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of York. 27 May 1924" takes us back to a momentous day in history. Captured by Alfieri, a renowned photographer of the 20th century, this image showcases two influential personalities engaged in an exhilarating game of polo. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the future King Edward VIII, then known as the Prince of Wales, alongside his brother Albert (later crowned as King George VI), who held the title Duke of York at that time. Dressed impeccably in their sporting attire, these young royals exude both elegance and athleticism. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the scene while emphasizing every detail with striking contrast. Mounted on majestic horses and gripping their polo mallets firmly, they epitomize grace and skill as they navigate through the pitch. This photograph not only captures a thrilling sport but also offers a glimpse into an era when polo was considered one of Europe's most prestigious pastimes. It serves as a testament to the enduring popularity of equestrian sports among nobility throughout history. Alfieri's masterful capture immortalizes this iconic moment for generations to come – reminding us not only of these remarkable individuals but also celebrating their passion for sportsmanship and camaraderie on horseback.
