EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Polo in South Africa" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of a thrilling game played amidst the picturesque landscapes of this beautiful country. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcased in this color lithograph, created by John Henry Frederick Bacon, transport us to a time when polo was not just a sport but an emblem of prestige and elegance. The image depicts players on horseback engaged in an intense match, their focus unwavering as they maneuver gracefully across the field. The horses themselves exude power and grace, their muscular bodies galloping with determination. This scene is not only a testament to the skill and athleticism of these players but also serves as a window into the rich history of polo itself. Commissioned for "The King's Empire" an esteemed publication from 1910 with an introduction by W. H. Fitchett, this artwork captures Polo's significance during that early twentieth-century period. It symbolizes more than just a game; it represents tradition, camaraderie, and even royal patronage - King Edward VII himself being known for his love of polo. As we admire this historical gem preserved within private collection archives today, let us appreciate its ability to transport us through time - reminding us that sports have always held immense cultural value throughout history.
