EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, depicts a lively scene in the coastal town of Skegness, England. The image captures the Tower, a prominent landmark and popular attraction for visitors, standing proudly against the backdrop of a vibrant parade. Dressed in their Sunday best, locals and tourists alike line the streets, eagerly watching the colorful procession unfold. The Tower, a red-brick structure with a conical roof, was built in 1875 as a water tower to supply the town with fresh water. However, it soon became a popular tourist attraction due to its unique design and scenic location near the sea. The parade, filled with marching bands, flag bearers, and elaborate floats, adds an air of excitement and nostalgia to the scene. The photograph, produced using the photochrom process, showcases the rich, vibrant colors that were not possible with traditional photography of the time. The use of this process, which involved the application of multiple layers of colored pigments, allowed for a more lifelike representation of the scene. This picturesque view of Tower and parade in Skegness offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and community gatherings like this were a source of joy and entertainment for all. The turn of the century brought about many changes, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and traditions that once defined life in a small English coastal town.
