EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful and humorous polo illustration by Tom Browne captures the lighthearted spirit of the sport in the early 1900s. In the scene, a gentleman player dressed in red appears to be having a bit of a mishap while attempting to hit the ball during a polo match. With a surprised and slightly embarrassed expression on his face, the player seems to have lost control of his mallet, resulting in an accidental smashing of his teammate's helmet instead. The playful and silly moment is further emphasized by the exaggerated backswing and the exaggerated size of the mallet and ball in the illustration. Tom Browne's comic postcard, circa 1905, is a fun and entertaining depiction of the sport's human side, where even the most elegant and refined players could have their moments of clumsiness and accidental mishaps. The illustration's charming and humorous style adds to its timeless appeal and makes it a great conversation starter or a delightful addition to any collection of vintage sports memorabilia. This illustration is part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online and is a testament to the enduring popularity of polo as a sport and as a subject for artistic expression.
