EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance, a traditional and historical event that dates back over 1000 years in England. The dance is believed to have Norse origins, with elements of a mock hunt featuring six deersmen, a fool, a hobby horse, Maid Marian, boys with crossbows and triangles dancing through the town.
The image showcases the unique customs and traditions that have been passed down through generations in Abbots Bromley. The dancers wear antlers on their heads as they prance through the streets, bringing history to life for all who witness this ancient ritual.
Despite being taken in the 1940s, this print continues to capture the magic and mystery of the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how these traditions have survived throughout centuries.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from September in Britain, we are transported back in time to experience a piece of history that still thrives today. The Abbots Bromley Horn Dance is not just an event - it is a celebration of community spirit and folklore that has stood the test of time.
