EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri, we witness a momentous occasion as the Duchess of York lays a foundation stone at All Saints Church in the Parish of Mortlake with East Sheen. The year is 1928, and the atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement. Accompanied by the esteemed Lord Bishop of Southwark, the Duchess arrives at the scene exuding grace and elegance. As she steps out of her carriage, she is greeted by a sea of clergy members, distinguished guests, and an enthusiastic crowd that has gathered to witness this historic event. The image beautifully captures both adults and children alike eagerly awaiting this royal visit. Boys dressed in their scout uniforms stand alongside girls adorned in Girl Guide attire, forming an impressive guard of honor for Her Royal Highness. The fashion trends of the era are evident as men donning formal suits mingle with women wearing elegant dresses and stylish hats. This snapshot from Europeana Photography provides us with a glimpse into the sartorial choices that defined the 1920s. Alfieri's skillful use of monochrome adds depth to this timeless photograph while emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a testament to not only an important ceremony but also to society's admiration for royalty during that period. This remarkable print encapsulates a moment frozen in time - one where tradition meets progress, faith meets royalty, and communities come together to celebrate an auspicious milestone in their parish's history.
