EDITORS COMMENTS
Master Edward Handel, aged 14, a direct descendant of the famous composer, is captured in this print seated at the majestic organ of St Lawrence church in Edgware. The very same instrument his renowned ancestor played as the church's organist from 1718 to 1721. Dressed in an exquisite Tudor costume, Master Edward showcases his membership with the esteemed Lord Mayors Boy Players. Taken on September 15th, 1931 by Alfieri, a talented photographer of that era, this monochrome image transports us back to the elegance and charm of the 1930s. With his youthful yet confident presence, Master Edward embodies both actor and musician as he skillfully plays upon the organ pipes. The intricate details of his attire - from the ruff around his neck to every stitch on his period clothing - reflect not only fashion trends but also pay homage to a rich musical heritage. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time when young talent meets ancestral legacy. As we gaze upon this Europeana photography treasure today, it serves as a reminder that music has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends generations and connects us through time. Let us celebrate Master Edward Handel's passion for music and honor his lineage while appreciating Alfieri's artistry behind capturing such an enchanting portrait.
