The day is Ascot Sunday, a time when the Thames comes alive with the spirit of leisure and socializing. The photograph is a testament to the popularity of boating as a pastime during the Edwardian era. The boats, ranging from elegant houseboats to small rowing boats, are filled with families and friends, all dressed in their Sunday best, enjoying the sunshine and the camaraderie of the day. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of people on the riverside, who watch the boats with interest and anticipation. The serene and picturesque setting of Boulters Lock, with its lush greenery and the gentle flow of the Thames, adds to the charm of the scene.
