Look Out, The Elephants Are Coming! An Allegory of Jaipur's Dominant Polo Team This evocative print captures the spirit of Jaipur's unbeatable polo team, who reigned supreme in the Indian Polo Association Championship for six consecutive years, from 1930 to 1935. The team's remarkable streak included a historic victory at the prestigious Hurlingham Championship in England in July 1933. The illustration showcases the team's key members, including Raj Kumar Prithi Singh, Rao Rajah Abhai Singh, and Rao Rajah Hanut Singh, flanked by their British counterparts, Captain Pat Roark, Colonel Vivian Lockett (the umpire), Captain Maurice Kingscote, and Mr. H.P. Guinness. The Maharajah of Jaipur, a prominent figure in the sport, is depicted watching the game from the sidelines. The elephants in the background symbolize the power and strength of the Jaipur team, which was a force to be reckoned with in the world of polo. The team's success during this period marked a significant moment in the history of the sport in India and beyond. This print is an allegory of Jaipur's polo legacy, which continues to inspire and captivate audiences to this day. The image is a testament to the team's unwavering determination, skill, and the camaraderie between the Indian and British players during a time when polo was at the height of its popularity.
