Barrie Bearers Fairy Kensington
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph, titled "Fairy Lantern Bearers," transports us back in time to a magical moment in the late 19th century. The image captures a group of children dressed as fairies, each carrying a lantern, as they make their way through the beautiful Kensington Gardens in London. The scene is reminiscent of the beloved children's book "The Fairy Tales of Peter and Wendy" by J.M. Barrie, published in 1911. The Fairy Lantern Bearers were a popular tradition in Kensington Gardens during the Victorian era. Every year, on the eve of May Day, children would dress up as fairies and parade through the gardens, carrying lanterns to light their way. This tradition was inspired by the belief that fairies would visit the gardens on this night, and the children hoped to catch a glimpse of these mystical creatures. The photograph showcases the children's intricate and detailed fairy costumes, complete with wings, flowers, and other natural elements. Their faces are filled with excitement and wonder as they carry their lanterns, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the scene. The lanterns themselves are a sight to behold, with intricate designs and delicate glass shades that cast a warm, inviting glow. The photograph also highlights the beauty of Kensington Gardens, with its lush greenery, colorful flowers, and serene ponds. The gardens were a popular destination for Londoners during the Victorian era, providing a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the magic and wonder of childhood and the enduring power of imagination. It invites us to step into a world of enchantment and to believe in the possibility of fairies and magical creatures, even if only for a moment.
