The extravagant fun (Colour Litho)
2778107 The extravagant fun (Colour Litho) by Beltrame, Achille (1871-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: The extravagant fun. The polo - usually - is played on horseback or on a bicycle. These young ladies, on the other hand, play it by putting on a vehicle that looks a bit like one and a little like the other, and that certainly costs less than both. It should not be said that the idea is American. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 29 November 1931.); © Look and Learn

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Extravagant Fun: A Playful Twist on Polo". In this colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we are transported back to the year 1931, where a unique and whimsical game of polo is taking place. Unlike traditional polo matches played on horseback or bicycles, these young ladies have found an innovative way to enjoy the sport. Gathered together in their teams, wearing matching uniforms and caps, the girls take to the field on tricycles that resemble a hybrid between a bicycle and a rocking horse. This ingenious contraption not only adds an element of fun but also proves more cost-effective than its equestrian or cycling counterparts. The crowd of spectators eagerly watches as these spirited schoolgirls navigate their tricycles with mallets in hand, displaying remarkable skill and enthusiasm for the game. Parents cheer from the sidelines while other children marvel at this unconventional twist on a beloved sport. Beltrame's illustration captures both the excitement of competition and the joyous camaraderie among players. The vibrant colours bring life to the scene, highlighting each girl's determination as they pedal across lush meadows adorned with blooming flowers. Although inspired by American ingenuity, this playful adaptation of polo showcases how creativity knows no bounds when it comes to reinventing classic games. Beltrame's artwork serves as a delightful reminder that sometimes all it takes is imagination and resourcefulness to create extravagant fun.
