Five mounted polo players in colored jerseys and caps gallop across a broad green field in pursuit of a small white ball, with a rail fence, trees, and a line of parked cars behind them under a blue, cloud-flecked sky. The card presents the sport generically as "an interesting sport in the Southland," without naming a club or field. Polo was a popular spectator sport at winter resort colonies in the American South, such as Aiken, South Carolina, and Palm Beach, Florida, during the 1920s-1940s.
