EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of rich tradition and historical significance. Titled "Beating The Bounds On the Water" it showcases the ancient ceremony performed by choir boys in the parish of St Clement Danes, Strand London. In this remarkable image taken on 10 May 1923, we see the young boys being rowed halfway across the mighty Thames, their oars rhythmically beating against the water's surface. This centuries-old ritual symbolizes an act of boundary marking and protection for their beloved parish. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, transporting us back to a different era. It evokes a sense of nostalgia as we witness these choir boys participating in an age-old tradition that has been passed down through generations. As we delve into this Europeana photography treasure from Central News, we are reminded of how transport quirks played a role even during ceremonial events like this one. The juxtaposition between traditional customs and modern means of transportation is intriguing. Let this print serve as a visual portal into history, allowing us to appreciate cultural heritage while marveling at its preservation through time.
