EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event in history - the Jubilee Parade in Ock Street, Abingdon, Oxfordshire. Taken by the talented photographer Henry Taunt in 1897, this hand-tinted lantern slide showcases the grandeur and excitement surrounding Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebration. As we gaze at this image frozen in time, we are transported back to a bygone era filled with joy and patriotism. The procession of horse-drawn floats gracefully glides along the road towards the bustling Market Place. Adorned with vibrant flags and streamers, every building proudly displays its loyalty to the beloved queen. The meticulous hand-tinting adds an enchanting touch to this historic scene, bringing it vividly to life before our eyes. We can almost hear the cheers of onlookers lining the streets as they celebrate their monarch's remarkable reign. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of an important milestone but also offers us a glimpse into Victorian leisure and recreation. It reminds us that even amidst royal festivities, people found solace and delight in coming together for communal events like parades. Preserved within Historic England's archive collection, this stunning piece is a testament to Henry Taunt's skillful artistry and his dedication to capturing moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
