EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event - the Distribution of his Majesty's Royal Maundy. The Lord High Almoner, accompanied by the Sub Almoner, can be seen carrying nosegays, which were historically used as protection against infection. Mrs. White, an 87-year-old woman, is shown in the picture proudly displaying the Maundy money to her son. Taken on April 13th, 1922, this monochrome image showcases a significant tradition steeped in history and customs. The Dean of Wells serves as the Lord High Almoner during this ceremony that dates back centuries. The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when such ceremonies held great importance in society. It transports us back to an era where traditions were cherished and upheld with utmost reverence. Preserved by Central News and now part of Europeana Photography collection, this image offers a glimpse into an age-old practice that continues to captivate our imagination today. Its timeless quality reminds us of the enduring power of rituals and their ability to connect generations across time. As we admire this remarkable piece from TopFoto's archives, let it serve as a reminder that even amidst changing times and evolving customs, some traditions remain steadfast symbols of heritage and continuity.
