EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1921, features the enchanting Miss Mona Vivian and her "pogo platoon" engaging in an extraordinary performance for the renowned British publication, The Sketch. Despite the title of the event, "Hippodrome Pogo Parade," the image actually captures the moment just before they took the stage at the Botanical Gardens. Miss Mona Vivian, an accomplished performer, is seen leading her troupe of pogo stick enthusiasts, their faces filled with excitement and determination. The pogo sticks, which had recently gained immense popularity, are held aloft, their brightly painted handles contrasting against the lush greenery of the gardens. The Pogo Parade, a unique spectacle that drew large crowds, was a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the era. The performers, dressed in fashionable attire, demonstrate the agility and skill required to master the pogo stick, a feat that continues to impress audiences even today. This photograph, taken from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to a time when innovation and entertainment intertwined, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring appeal of human ingenuity and the joy of playful pursuits.
