EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of a bank holiday crowd on board a paddle steamer headed for Margate, London in the late 1920s. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with excited holidaymakers eagerly embarking on their journey from the Old Swan Pier, located just above London Bridge and opposite Fishmongers Hall. The pier is teeming with people, as passengers pack themselves onto the boat in anticipation of a memorable day out. The snapshot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of British leisure during this era, as families and friends come together to enjoy a well-deserved break from their daily routines. Transportation by water was an integral part of city life at that time, providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of London into the serene waters surrounding Margate. This photogravure print beautifully portrays both the excitement and tranquility associated with such trips. Published in "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock and released by Amalgamated Press in 1926-1927, this historic image offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century England. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, it serves as a reminder of how holidays have evolved over time while still retaining their essence - bringing joy to people's lives amidst picturesque locations like Margate.
