The caption for this illustration reads: Polo Post Futurum. It is taken from the Punch Almanac for 1873. Its date is December 17, 1872. Punch, or The London Charivari, was a British weekly magazine of humor and satire established in 1841 by Henry Mayhew and wood-engraver Ebenezer Landells. Historically, it was most influential in the 1840s and 1850s, when it helped to coin the term "cartoon" in its modern sense as a humorous illustration.
