EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the First Alexandra Rose Day, held on 21 June 1912 in London. The image showcases a group of five determined women who are passionately selling rose badges to raise funds for charity. Standing outside the now-demolished Hotel Cecil, these women embody the spirit of volunteerism and community support. Alexandra Rose Day is an annual charitable event that has been held in the United Kingdom since its inception in 1912. It was initiated to commemorate Queen Alexandra's arrival from Denmark, marking her 50th anniversary as consort to King Edward VII. This historic occasion brought together people from all walks of life, united by their desire to contribute towards noble causes. The photograph exudes a sense of camaraderie among these dedicated volunteers as they don elegant Edwardian attire with lace-trimmed hats. Their determination shines through their eyes and gestures, as they engage passersby in conversation about their cause. Captured by an unknown creator and featured in "The Pageant of the Century" published by Odhams Press Ltd in 1933, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the power individuals possess when they come together for philanthropic endeavors. It symbolizes not only a moment frozen in time but also represents a timeless tradition that continues to inspire generations to make positive changes within their communities through voluntary efforts and fundraising initiatives like Alexandra Rose Day.
