EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a young Pearly Queen proudly displays her vibrant and intricately sequined costume, beaming with joy and pride. The Pearly Queens and Kings are a unique and colorful tradition that originated in the late 19th century in the East End of London, England. These community figures, often dressed in elaborate costumes adorned with pearl buttons, sequins, and other decorative elements, were once believed to have originated from the Roman Catholic feast day of Our Lady of Sorrows. The young Pearly Queen in this image, likely a daughter or apprentice, wears a traditional Pearly Queen outfit that includes a large, ornate headdress, a long, full skirt, and a jacket covered in thousands of sequins. Her mother or mentor, also dressed in full Pearly Queen regalia, stands behind her, her expression filled with warmth and approval. The Pearly Queens and Kings were an integral part of London's East End community, and their presence was particularly noticeable during parades and festivals. They were known for their charitable works, raising funds for local causes and providing support to those in need. The tradition of the Pearly Queens and Kings continues to this day, with many young people learning the art of creating and wearing these stunning costumes from their families and mentors. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, captures the essence of this unique and colorful British tradition, showcasing the joy and pride that comes with being a part of such a vibrant and cherished community. The young Pearly Queen's pleased expression speaks volumes about the sense of belonging and the rich cultural heritage that this tradition represents.
