EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a historic moment in Manchester's history. The print showcases a magnificent float, adorned with elaborate decorations, as it passes the Exchange building in 1892. This grand procession was organized to raise funds for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), an organization dedicated to saving lives at sea. The image is filled with fascinating details that transport us back to late 19th century Britain. A horse-drawn carriage leads the float, carrying a young girl and her father who represent Grace Darling, a famous heroine of maritime rescue. Crowds of people line the streets, eagerly watching this spectacle unfold while generously donating money towards this noble cause. The scene not only highlights the importance of charity and giving but also reflects the spirit of Victorian England. It symbolizes unity and compassion as communities come together to support lifesaving efforts at sea. This print serves as a reminder of our shared history and the significance of organizations like RNLI in protecting lives along coastal regions. Its inclusion in Black & White magazine further emphasizes its cultural impact during that era. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical gem, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its role in documenting important moments from our past.
