A very early and possibly unique set of polo photographs dating from the game's earliest days in Argentina a country subsequently famous for its superb record in International competitions. Invented in Persia the game was revived in India in 1863 and was brought to England by British officers in 1869. A number of Englishmen many of them younger sons of British nobility emigrated to Argentina in the latter decades of the century and around 1883 they introduced polo first played around Buenos Aires which quickly spread and became a national sport. Some of the faces in the photos offered here have a distinctly English appearance and it is not too fanciful to assume that these may indeed be some of the founders of the Argentine game. It is also possible that these are the first photographs taken of polo in Argentina.<br/><br/><br/><br/>AN HISTORIC SET OF PHOTOGRAPHS. Dale Polo at Home and Abroad p. 182 et seq unknown books
