Polo in India
by Lt General Sir Beauvoir de Lisle. Second Edition 1913, Thacker & Co Bombay.
The classic account of how to play polo in India in the days of the Raj. Chapters on saddlery, regimental polo clubs and the roles of each player. 13 photographs and 20 diagrams.
Slight staining to inside covers due to age probably from the book's time in India. A well loved and used tome.
Very difficult to find complete, often the diagrams are missing, perhaps used separately for instruction. This volume is complete.
A presentation copy from De Lisle to 'The Officers of The 9th Lancers 10 May 1913'. A One-Off.
