Margaret Parker, Farewell Entertainment: A Nostalgic Evening at Surrey Masonic Hall, Camberwell, SE London (18 December 1907) This evocative photograph captures the enchanting moment as Margaret Parker bid her farewell to her beloved London audience before embarking on a new journey to Australia. The image was taken prior to her departure at the Surrey Masonic Hall in Camberwell, South East London, on the chilly evening of 18 December 1907. Margaret Parker was a renowned actress, known for her captivating performances in comedy and dramatic sketches. In this photograph, she is seen wearing a radiant orange dress, adorned with intricate beadwork, that shines brightly under the warm, inviting light of the stage. The sun, symbolizing hope and new beginnings, casts a gentle glow on her face, highlighting her youthful charm and the anticipation of the exciting adventure ahead.
