EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the 1930s, as the Pearly Kings and Queens of London make their way past the iconic Kings Cross St. Pancras stations on their horse-drawn carriage. The Pearly Kings and Queens are a unique and colorful tradition in the English capital, with their distinctive attire adorned with pearly buttons and shells. The Pearly community originated in the late 1800s, with its members originally being costermongers, or street vendors, who wore the pearls as a sign of their membership and as a means of protection against theft. Over the years, the tradition evolved into a charitable organization, with the Pearly Kings and Queens raising funds for various causes and bringing joy to the people of London. In this photograph, the Pearly King and Queen, dressed in their finest regalia, sit proudly in the carriage, while their horse trots along the cobblestone streets. Surrounding them are the hustle and bustle of the bustling stations, with passengers coming and going, and the steam trains of the era puffing smoke into the air. Despite the racial and social tensions that were present in London during the 1930s, this image shows a moment of unity and community spirit, as the Pearly Kings and Queens bring a touch of magic and wonder to the busy streets of the city. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the ability of people to come together, even in the most challenging of times.
