EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration captures the lively atmosphere of Harrods Diamond Jubilee celebrations held in 1909. At the center of the image, Mr. R. Burbidge, then managing director of Harrods, stands proudly among the festivities. Surrounding him are various figures and scenes that showcase the importance of the event. The Diamond Jubilee marked the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign, and Harrods, a renowned London department store, celebrated in grand style. The illustration depicts a number of figures, including a group of children playing with balloons, a band playing lively music, and a crowd gathered around a large diamond on display. At the bottom right corner of the image, Mark Hambourg, the pianist, can be seen performing for the entertained crowd. Hambourg, a well-known pianist of the time, was a frequent performer at Harrods. His presence added to the festive mood of the occasion. The Diamond Jubilee was a significant historical event, and this illustration provides a glimpse into the grandeur and excitement of the celebrations at Harrods. The importance of the occasion is further emphasized by the large number of people present, all dressed in their finest attire. This illustration, from the Illustrated London News, is a testament to the rich history of Harrods and the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of 1909. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the grand traditions that continue to make Harrods a beloved institution in London.
