EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of tradition and community spirit as a Pearly King and Queen engage in the important task of selecting buttons and sequins for their iconic costumes in the 1930s. The Pearly Kings and Queens are a unique and historic part of London's East End, known for their distinctive attire adorned with thousands of pearly buttons and sequins. The Pearly King, with his traditional bowler hat and tailored suit, stands proudly alongside his Queen, both deep in thought as they carefully consider their choices. The Queen, dressed in a beautiful gown and headpiece, adds a regal touch to the scene. The atmosphere is one of excitement and anticipation as they prepare for their next public appearance. The Pearly Kings and Queens have their origins in the late 1800s, with the first Pearly King, Henry Croft, emerging as a local character and community leader in the East End. Over the years, they have become a beloved and integral part of London's cultural heritage, representing the resilience and unity of the community. The act of choosing buttons and sequins for their costumes is a significant and time-honored tradition, reflecting the importance of personal expression and creativity within the group. Each Pearly King and Queen designs their own costume, making the selection process a deeply personal and meaningful experience. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history and traditions of the Pearly Kings and Queens, and the community they represent. The racial diversity of the Pearly Kings and Queens is also noteworthy, reflecting the inclusive and welcoming nature of this unique London institution.
