EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1911, depicts the annual Prince of Wales Hospital Carnival in North London, an event filled with joy, charity, and community spirit. The procession, led by a high arc banner bearing the name of the hospital, makes its way down the bustling street of Tottenham. The Prince of Wales, represented by a man in a regal costume and helmet, rides on horseback, waving to the cheering crowds. Surrounding him are a myriad of vibrant costumes, from medieval knights to French maids, adding to the festive atmosphere. Police men, both on foot and on horseback, ensure the safety and order of the procession. A woman in a elegant dress and hat, holding a collection box, walks alongside the procession, raising funds for the hospital. The road is lined with spectators, some of whom are seen enjoying the carnival with a cigarette in hand, while others watch with wide-eyed wonder. A pony-drawn carriage, adorned with flowers, adds to the whimsical charm of the scene. The Prince of Wales Hospital Carnival was an annual event, bringing together the people of North London to raise funds for the hospital. The event, which was a source of enjoyment and benevolence for all, played a crucial role in providing essential funding for the hospital's charitable causes. This photograph, from the Pete Frost Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of community fundraising events in London and the vital role they play in supporting local hospitals and charities.
