EDITORS COMMENTS
Easter Monday, Regents Park, Central London: The Sixth Van Horse Parade (1909) This photograph depicts the sixth Van Horse Parade taking place on Easter Monday in Regents Park, Central London. The event, which was founded in 1904, showcases an array of beautifully adorned horse-drawn vans, each one a testament to the rich history of working horses in London. On the far left, we see the Hon. Alex E. Parker intently judging an entry, his expression a mix of concentration and admiration. The Parade, which was originally founded to promote the use of horse-drawn vehicles, has a long and storied history. In 1966, it merged with the London Cart Horse Parade, which was established in 1885, to form the London Harness Horse Parade. Although the Parade now takes place in Sussex, it retains a strong London identity. The weather on this particular day was cold and snowy, adding an extra layer of charm to the scene. The horses, bundled up against the elements, appear determined and proud as they parade through the park. The Parade is not only a celebration of the working horses but also a reminder of the historical significance of these animals in London's past. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time, to an era when horse-drawn vehicles were a common sight on the streets of London. The Van Horse Parade is a living testament to the enduring bond between humans and horses, a bond that has stood the test of time.
