EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in the history of the Church of England Temperance Society. The Annual Diocesan Festival held at Dover on 17th October is depicted with great detail and clarity, thanks to the skillful eye of an English photographer from the 19th century. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with members of the church society, all gathered together to celebrate their commitment to temperance. Men, women, and children can be seen dressed in their finest attire, exuding an air of excitement and unity. The festival grounds are adorned with banners proudly displaying the emblem of the Church of England Temperance Society. The photograph not only serves as a visual record but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for this bygone era. It offers us a glimpse into an important social movement that sought to promote abstinence from alcohol within religious communities. Preserved in a private collection, this print holds historical significance as it was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on 29th October 1898. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection further emphasizes its value as both art and documentation. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the fervor and dedication exhibited by those who attended this memorable event.
