EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1890 in Windsor, England. It captures a moment of anticipation and excitement as a large crowd gathers outside the Riding School. These eager individuals are patiently awaiting their turn to enter and receive their share of Queen Victoria's generous New Year gifts. The image portrays an atmosphere filled with hope and expectation. Amongst this diverse group of people from different walks of life, we witness both young and old eagerly awaiting their turn to be admitted into the building. Their faces reflect a mixture of curiosity, joy, and perhaps even desperation. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the social inequality that existed during this era. The presence of newspapers suggests that news about this event had spread far and wide among those seeking assistance or simply hoping for some respite from poverty. While we may not know who captured this powerful moment on film or why it was taken, what remains clear is its historical significance. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into Victorian Britain - its class divisions, charitable acts by royalty towards the poor, and the enduring spirit of resilience amongst those facing adversity. As we observe these individuals patiently waiting for admission into the Riding School on New Year's Day in 1890s Berkshire County Park in Windsor – let us ponder upon how much has changed since then while also acknowledging how much work
