EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Opening of the Winter Gardens, Blackpool, Sketches in the Procession" takes us back to a momentous event in 1878. The image showcases a vibrant procession filled with an array of characters and symbols that tell a story within themselves. As we delve into this snapshot of history, our eyes are immediately drawn to the central figure - Lord Beaconsfield. Dressed regally and surrounded by his entourage, he exudes power and authority. Behind him stands Neptune, representing the sea and all its mysteries. But as our gaze wanders further, we notice something peculiar lurking amidst the festivities - a ghostly apparition! This unexpected presence adds an eerie touch to an otherwise joyous occasion. Perhaps it is a reminder that even during moments of celebration, there is always an element of mystery and intrigue. The procession itself is teeming with diverse sketches: Russians standing alongside Turks; fire kings showcasing their fiery prowess; ceremonial figures symbolizing tradition and heritage. Each character represents different cultures coming together under one roof - the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. However, not everything goes according to plan on this fateful day. Accidents occur along the way - reminding us that even grand events can be marred by unforeseen circumstances. In this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness both the splendor and imperfections of historical processions. It serves as a testament to how art can capture not only
