EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the enthronement of the new Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Gordon Lang, unfolds before a large and enthusiastic crowd in December 1928. The historic occasion marks the first time in 150 years that a bachelor would assume the role, an intriguing fact that added to the excitement of the day. The scene is filled with the fashionable attire of the era, as well-dressed ladies in cloche hats eagerly await the arrival of their new spiritual leader. The women's frenzy is palpable, their excitement evident in their animated expressions and gestures. Several policemen, dressed in their uniforms, are conscripted to maintain order and control the crowd, their presence a stark contrast to the elegant attire of the onlookers. The media, too, is present, capturing the momentous occasion for posterity. The twenties, a decade marked by social and cultural change, is reflected in the fashion, the excitement, and the sense of history being made. Archbishop Lang, dressed in his ecclesiastical robes, sits regally on his throne, his expression calm and serene amidst the chaos around him. The scene is a testament to the enduring power of tradition, the allure of the unknown, and the unyielding human desire for connection and community. This photograph, a snapshot of a moment in history, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of change, excitement, and the unfolding of the unexpected.
