EDITORS COMMENTS
Mumming: A Time-Honored Tradition: A captivating image of a lively party of mummers, captured in intricate detail by the skillful hand of Alfred Crowquill in 1883. Mumming, an age-old custom rooted in the mists of time, is depicted here with all its vibrant, fancy dress glory. The party, a lively assemblage of men, each donning elaborate costumes, exudes an infectious energy. The central figure, wearing a grotesque mask and a long, flowing coat, holds aloft a book, perhaps a prop to recite verses or tell a tale. The men around him are dressed in a variety of fantastical costumes, from jesters and clowns to soldiers and kings. The room they occupy is filled with the warm, inviting glow of a fireplace, adding to the cozy, festive atmosphere. The intricate details of their costumes, from the folds of their coats to the intricate patterns on their masks, are rendered with exquisite care, showcasing Crowquill's mastery of the crowquill pen. This image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when such festivities brought communities together, and traditions like mumming continued to thrive.
