Palm Sunday in Spitalfields, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Palm Sunday in Spitalfields, 1844. In the neighbourhood of London... " palming" is still a practice on the Sunday before Easter. The weavers of Spitalfields, leaving their murky workshops, customarily ramble into the fields and lowlands of Essex, on this day, to gather " palm", and inhale a better atmosphere. Our artist has depicted a scene of the return of one of these parties. The yellow catkins, or male-flowers, are more highly prized than the white, or female flowers. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Palm Sunday in Spitalfields, 1844" takes us back to a bygone era in the neighborhood of London. The image showcases a unique tradition that still persists on the Sunday before Easter - the practice of "palming". In this custom, weavers from Spitalfields would temporarily escape their dim and murky workshops to venture into the fields and lowlands of Essex. Their purpose? To gather palm leaves and immerse themselves in a fresher atmosphere. The artist skillfully captures the essence of one such return journey. A group of weary weavers can be seen making their way back home, carrying bundles of palm leaves. Interestingly, our attention is drawn to the yellow catkins or male-flowers they hold; these are considered more valuable than their white female counterparts. Published in an edition of "Illustrated London News" in 1844, this engraving offers a glimpse into daily life during the nineteenth century. It depicts not only religious customs but also sheds light on poverty as evidenced by the poor living conditions depicted within Spitalfields Tower Hamlets. As we observe this scene frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that traditions evolve over centuries while some aspects remain constant. This photograph print invites us to reflect upon our own cultural practices and how they connect us with both history and community.
