EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1872, captures the moment of Sir W. W. Wynn's initiation as an Ovate at the Eisteddfod in Porthmadog, North Wales. The Eisteddfod, a Welsh cultural festival, was held in an open-air setting amidst the picturesque hills and valleys of Eyri. The event attracted a large crowd of spectators, who gathered to witness the ancient ceremony. Sir Wynn, dressed in traditional Welsh attire, stands proudly before the assembled crowd, his expression a mix of anticipation and determination. The initiation ceremony, steeped in Welsh history and tradition, took place under the watchful gaze of the surrounding hills and valleys, adding to the sense of mystery and wonder. The outdoor setting, with its natural beauty and open atmosphere, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the Eisteddfod and the rich cultural heritage of Wales during the 1870s. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into Welsh entertainment and tradition during a bygone era.
