EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating English tradition that dates back centuries. The image showcases the moment when the roof of the historic White Hart at Brasted Kent was being re-tiled, and with it, an important piece of local history was preserved for future generations. In this remarkable custom, whenever a new tiling project takes place, the head tiler carefully places a small parchment scroll enclosed in a bottle within one of the ridges. This unique practice ensures that each subsequent tiler will discover this hidden treasure and learn about various significant local facts. The particular parchment scroll featured in this photograph is from March 23rd, 1953 - an iconic year marked by Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. As we gaze upon this relic from the past, we are reminded of how history intertwines with everyday life and leaves its mark even on seemingly ordinary objects like champagne bottles. Royalty enthusiasts will appreciate this rare glimpse into England's rich heritage as they admire Queen Elizabeth II's reign through historical artifacts such as these. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with royalty and their influence on society. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on how traditions can bridge gaps between generations while preserving cherished memories for years to come.
