EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of a May Day celebration in Mid Wales during the early 20th century. At the heart of the scene, a young woman gracefully sits on her throne, adorned in regal attire and a magnificent feathered headdress, symbolizing her role as the May Queen. Surrounding her are a group of children, dressed as playful nymphs or fairies, each wearing intricately crafted feathered headpieces that add to the magical atmosphere. Four attendants, also wearing feathered headdresses, stand proudly by the Queen's side, adding an air of grandeur to the scene. Three children in everyday clothes, perhaps friends or family members, observe the festivities from the left, their curious expressions adding a sense of wonder and delight to the image. A teddy bear, a beloved companion, sits on the grass, adding a touch of whimsy and nostalgia to the scene. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when May Day celebrations were filled with joy, imagination, and the simple pleasures of childhood.
