EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the history of Bristol University. Taken in June 1925, it showcases King George V and Queen Mary gracefully making their way down Park Street after inaugurating the magnificent Wills Memorial Building. The Gothic-inspired Wills Tower stands tall at the top of the hill, its grandeur adding to the regal atmosphere. The image transports us back to an era when horse-drawn carriages were still a common mode of transportation for royalty. The sight of this elegant vehicle, adorned with intricate details and pulled by majestic horses, evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone time. Parades and processions have always been opportunities for communities to come together and celebrate significant events. In this case, witnessing such esteemed personalities as King George V and Queen Mary must have filled the streets with excitement and pride. Photographer E. Bacon skillfully captures this historic moment from a portrait format perspective, allowing us to appreciate every detail in sharp clarity. This remarkable photograph is not only visually stunning but also serves as a testament to Bristol's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring legacy that institutions like Bristol University hold within our society. It serves as both an inspiration and a reminder that progress is built upon foundations laid by those who came before us.
