This is an original 1923 double-sided rotogravure. On one side are images of two polo games: a game at Camp Humphries, Virginia using mules instead of polo ponies; and a scrimmage in the third period of the polo game between Army and Navy teams at Governors Island (won by the Navy 6-0). On the reverse are images of two horse races: the finish of the Morissiania Handicap with Revenge winning, and Emotion and Hephaistos coming in second and third; and the neck and neck struggle in the Hyde Park Handicap at Belmont Park between Audacious and Damask (won by Audacious).
We have obtained a large collection of original folio-size rotogravures from The New York Times which were printed in 1923. Any of these items would look stunning framed.
About Rotogravure: Rotogravure is a printing method using a rotary press with intaglio cylinders which allows for very high quality halftone reproductions to be printed at high speed on inexpensive paper stock. Newspapers, beginning with The New York Times, were able to make effective use of this technology, and many published regular rotogravure pictorial sections in their publications during the early 20th century.

If you would like to save on this item or other items from Period Paper, simply use the Make Offer feature and make us a reasonable offer and we'll do our best to accept. You can also save by placing minimum bids when items are out to auction or when we have an item on sale in our store. See below:
- MAKE OFFER purchases that are accepted will come with a Period Paper Certificate of Authenticity instead of the dual NAIAA certificates. This includes everything that is not Buy it Now... therefore, if you are a winning bidder of an auction, or buy this item on sale, or use promotional discounts, you will receive the Period Paper Certificate of Authenticity and your item will ship immediately after Buy it Now purchases.
- All BUY IT NOW purchases will receive the dual NAIAA certificates and ship ahead of all other orders. NOTE! If an item is on sale in our store for a price lower than the Buy it Now prices, and you wish to receive the Buy it Now upgrade, simply use the Make Offer button to make us an offer at the original Buy it Now price versus the discounted price. Or, you can always upgrade to the NAIAA certificates at checkout.
