EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Southend-on-Sea carnival in all its glory. The year is 1934, and we witness the grand entrance of the Carnival Queen, Miss Hilda Wordsworth, as she is warmly greeted by the esteemed mayor. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with adults adorned in exquisite costumes that reflect the fashion trends of the 1930s. The crowd eagerly gathers around to catch a glimpse of their beloved queen, who stands tall and regal wearing her crown, robes, and an elegant cape. Amidst this lively atmosphere, uniformed policemen ensure order while adding to the spectacle themselves. The mayor proudly displays his chain of office as he extends a welcoming hand towards Miss Wordsworth. Photographer Alfieri masterfully captures this momentous occasion from Europeana Photography's collection. His monochrome composition adds depth and timelessness to this snapshot from history. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back to an era where community celebrations like carnivals brought people together in joyous unity. It serves as a reminder of how traditions have evolved over time but continue to hold significance for generations past and present.
