EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of triumph for the English polo team after their victorious win against America in the International Polo Trophy, also known as the Westchester Cup, in 1914. The image shows the team's jubilant players, led by their captain, holding aloft the coveted trophy adorned with the flags of both countries. The victory dinner in honor of the team was held at Buckingham Palace, with this elegant menu card as a testament to the occasion. The menu features an array of delectable dishes, reflecting the grandeur and sophistication of the event. The year was significant as it marked the first time England had regained the Westchester Cup since its loss in 1909. Polo, a popular and prestigious sport in the early 20th century, brought together the elite of society, both in England and America, in friendly competition. This photograph and menu card offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of polo and international sportsmanship during an era of great change.
