Officers Playing Polo (Hockey on Horseback) on Woolwich Common -
SOLD-One of the earliest prints of polo in England just 2 years after the first game played on Hounslow Heath. Still a chaotic game at this time with more missed strikes than hits. The Royal Artillery at Woolwich were early players of the game in Charlton Park Kent. Image size 30cms x 23cms approx. Mounted and ready to frame. Handcoloured in watercolour. Slight crinkling due to age.-SOLD
