EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Annual procession of the Orangemen in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1922. The image, taken by J Johnson and featured in the book "Peoples of All Nations" transports us back to a time when religious prejudice was prevalent. The photograph showcases a mass gathering of people from all walks of life, united under their Protestant faith. They proudly march through the streets with vibrant banners and flags representing their country and continent. This powerful display illustrates their unwavering devotion to their religion and highlights the significance of this religious event within Irish society. Intriguingly, amidst this sea of faces lies an underlying tension that cannot be ignored. The procession serves as a reminder that prejudice based on religious beliefs was deeply ingrained during this era. However, it also symbolizes unity among those who share similar convictions. J Johnson's artistic eye beautifully captures both the grandeur and complexity surrounding this annual event. Through his lens, we witness not only a moment frozen in time but also gain insight into the social fabric that defined Belfast during this period. As we reflect upon this historical photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder to embrace diversity while acknowledging our shared humanity - an invaluable lesson for generations to come.
