EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in the history of New York City. Taken on September 17,1922, during the annual Police Field Day games at Jamaica, Long Island, it showcases the extraordinary skills of New York's expert mounted police. In this image, we witness these brave officers displaying their fencing prowess while gracefully perched atop their majestic horses. The combination of horsemanship and swordsmanship creates an awe-inspiring spectacle that leaves spectators in awe. The backdrop of Jamaica, located in the Greater Antilles region of the Caribbean, adds to the allure of this historic photograph. It serves as a reminder that even amidst such picturesque surroundings, law enforcement officers were dedicated to honing their craft and ensuring public safety. As we delve into this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are transported back to an era where competition was fierce yet friendly among these valiant men. Their dedication to mastering both equestrian skills and fencing techniques is evident through their focused expressions and poised stances. Preserved by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this vintage print not only offers us a glimpse into New York City's past but also pays tribute to the unwavering commitment displayed by our police force throughout history.
