EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time as a group of Macedonian gipsies set up camp at Tower Hill in London, marking their arrival in the city in January 1904. The gipsies, who hailed from the Balkans, had traveled to England in search of new opportunities and a better life. In the image, we see the vibrant colors of their caravans and belongings contrasting against the drab, industrial backdrop of the city. The gipsies' journey through London took them through various neighborhoods, including Whitechapel, Leytonstone, Wanstead Flats, Walthamstow, and Chingford, before eventually leading them out into Essex. Their arrival caused quite a stir in the city, with many Londoners curious about the newcomers and their nomadic way of life. Despite the initial fascination, there was also a great deal of prejudice and discrimination towards the gipsies. They were often subjected to harassment and discrimination, and many were forced to leave their campsites due to pressure from local authorities and residents. Despite these challenges, the gipsies persevered, continuing to travel and live according to their traditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into a moment in their history, a time when they were newcomers to a foreign land, seeking to make a home and build a future for themselves and their families.
