EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'The Va et Vient at Rout and Revel,' captures a quintessential scene from London's vibrant social scene of the 1920s. The image, taken in 1928, depicts the bustling activity outside a grand London mansion, now sadly lost to the passage of time. The elegant crowd, dressed in the height of fashion from the era, engages in animated conversations, laughs, and exchanges as they come and go, or take a moment to enjoy the cool night air on the mansion's steps. The steps serve as a temporary reprieve from the crowded interior, where parties and revelries were in full swing. The Va et Vient, or 'come and go,' was a popular social custom of the time, where guests would arrive and depart at their leisure, creating a lively and ever-changing atmosphere. The twinkling lights and festive decorations add to the enchanting ambiance, transporting us back to the golden age of London's nightlife. The season, though unspecified, is evident in the crispness of the air and the warm glow of the lamplight. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of London's social scene and the carefree evenings of the 1920s.
