EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of tradition and community spirit as it depicts a Pearly King, Pearly Queen, and their daughter, making their way through the bustling streets of North London in 1922. Dressed in their ornate, pearl-encrusted costumes, the Pearly King and Queen are a beloved and time-honored symbol of London's unique culture. The Pearly King, with his cap adorned with thousands of pearls sewn on, and the Pearly Queen, resplendent in her gown and headdress, were once a common sight in the city during special occasions and holidays. The family is seen riding in a quaint cart, pulled by a mule, adding to the old-world charm of the scene. The child, their daughter, sits happily between them, a young Londoner in the making. The pavement and road are filled with people, both men and women, young and old, who have come out to catch a glimpse of the Pearly Royalty as they pass by. The Pearly Kings and Queens were once a thriving subculture in London, with their origins dating back to the 18th century. Their costumes were said to have been inspired by the pearly buttons worn by costermongers, street vendors who sold fruit and vegetables. This photograph is a captivating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the Pearly Kings, Queens, and their families, and the rich traditions that continue to define the people and culture of London. The 1920s, or the 'Roaring Twenties,' was a time of great change and progress, but the Pearly Kings and Queens remained a steadfast reminder of the city's history and heritage.
