Lord Mayor Visits The Crown: A Grand Edwardian Procession to the West End's Affordable Attractions (circa 1890s-1900s) In this postcard image, the grandeur of the Edwardian era comes alive as the Lord Mayor's carriage, adorned with intricate gold detailing and drawn by a team of proud horses, stands proudly outside The Crown Theatre. The date of this historic visit is not definitively known, but the sign below the balcony proclaims 'West End Attractions, Half West End Prices,' suggesting an air of affordability and accessibility that would have appealed to the masses. The facade of The Crown Theatre, with its ornate bunting, flags, and police presence, adds to the festive atmosphere. Onlookers, dressed in their Sunday best, gather to catch a glimpse of the esteemed Lord Mayor, while policemen ensure the safety and order of the crowd. The carriage's horses, their coats glistening in the sunlight, seem to be as much a part of the spectacle as the visitors themselves. The Crown Theatre, a cherished West End landmark, offered a diverse range of entertainment during this period. From music hall performances to theatrical productions, it was a hub of cultural activity in London's vibrant 20th-century scene. This postcard, with its evocative imagery and intriguing backstory, serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring allure of the West End's theatrical past.
