1887 Ally Brimstone Chaos Chef Eating Jubilee Pic Nic Picnics Sally Sloper Sticky Supplies Treacle Treat
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful image captures the joy and excitement of a children's jubilee treat in the late 19th century. The scene is set in a lush green meadow, where children of all ages are gathered around a large table, eagerly devouring their sticky treats. In the foreground, Ally Sloper, a historical character known as a chaotic and mischievous chef, is seen doling out brimstone and treacle to the eagerly waiting children. Brimstone and treacle, a popular Victorian treat, was made by mixing treacle, ginger, and sometimes other spices, and then allowing it to harden. The children's faces are filled with delight as they savor the sweet and sticky concoction. In the background, Sally Lunns, another traditional Victorian treat, are being passed around, adding to the festive atmosphere. The children are dressed in their Sunday best, adding to the formal and celebratory nature of the event. Some are even wearing hats and bonnets, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The chaos of the scene is balanced by the orderly arrangement of the table, with its white tablecloth and neatly stacked plates. This photograph, taken in 1887, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a reminder of the simple pleasures and traditions that brought communities together in celebration. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of picnics and jubilee treats, which continue to be enjoyed by generations of families today.
