"Favours: A Glimpse into the World of Tokens and Trinkets" Step back in time to the Suffragette Demonstration Rally at Hyde Park, where women fought for their rights with unwavering determination. Picture No. 12479599 captures the essence of their struggle. In 1915, amidst the turmoil of World War I and German optimism, a sense of hope prevailed. The story unfolds with Sofya and Streltsi, two individuals who dared to dream beyond boundaries. Sketches at the Brighton Election (engraving) transport us to a time when political fervor ran high, as citizens exercised their right to vote. Street hawkers seized this opportunity by selling football favours at Walham Green (b/w photo), adding an element of excitement to everyday life. A panorama of a fashionable wedding (engraving) takes us on a journey through opulence and grandeur, showcasing how they were used as tokens of appreciation during celebrations. Fast forward to 1929 when women's evening dresses exuded elegance and sophistication. Favours became an integral part of fashion statements - small yet significant details that completed ensembles. Street hawkers continued their trade by selling football favours at Kings Cross (b/w photo), capturing moments filled with camaraderie among sports enthusiasts. Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night" brings forth Malvolio's obsession with gaining favor from others—a reminder that even in centuries past, human nature sought validation through gestures big or small. Advertisements for carnival lines by A. I. Chesney and Kelsey & Scott reveal how favours transformed into artistic carnival novelties—tokens that brought joy and amusement during festive occasions. Whether it was suffragettes fighting for equality or street vendors peddling trinkets, these glimpses into history remind us that they have always held significance in our lives—a tangible representation of gratitude, celebration, and the human spirit.
