This print captures the exhilarating atmosphere of a polo match at the prestigious Hurlingham Club in London. The intense competition between Whatcombe and Jodphur teams is beautifully frozen in time, showcasing the skill and grace of these talented players. In the foreground, we see two remarkable women who are undoubtedly making their mark on this male-dominated sport. Miss Olive Compton and Mrs Cecil Greene exude elegance as they observe the game from their prime seats. Their fashionable attire reflects the glamour of 1920s fashion, with stylish hats adding an extra touch of sophistication. The image transports us back to May 18th, 1925, immersing us in a bygone era where polo matches were not only sporting events but also social gatherings for high society. Spectators fill rows of chairs behind Miss Compton and Mrs Greene, creating a vibrant backdrop that showcases both men's dapper suits and ladies' exquisite dresses. Alfieri's monochrome composition expertly captures every detail while evoking a sense of nostalgia for this golden age. This photograph serves as a testament to his talent as he effortlessly freezes moments in time through his lens.
