EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of tradition and community spirit as it depicts a Pearly King and Queen, accompanied by a young boy on a donkey, at the Peckham Derby Show in London during 1911. The Pearly King and Queen, dressed in their ornate and intricately designed costumes, embody the long-standing history and customs of the Pearly community in London. The Pearly King, with his flat cap adorned with pearl buttons and a feather, and the Pearly Queen, wearing a hat bedecked with pearls, sequins, and flowers, exude an air of regality and pride. The young boy, seated on the donkey with his own pearly cap and blinkers, adds an element of joy and innocence to the scene. The Peckham Derby Show, a popular annual event in South East London, provided a platform for the Pearly Kings and Queens to showcase their vibrant costumes and engage with their local community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Pearly community, which continues to be celebrated and cherished in London today.
