EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1902, the world champion sculler, Mr. George Towns, exchanges heartfelt congratulations with his bride, Miss Amy Roslyn Harding, moments before their nuptials at Southsea, England. The joyous occasion took place just prior to Mr. Towns' return to his native Australia. The backdrop of the image is the Mellin Airships Trial Trip, with the airship, piloted by Mr. Stanley Spencer, leaving the grounds of the Crystal Palace in London. The Mellin Airships, an advertising venture for Mellin's Food, were a commercial sponsorship for the aviator, adding an element of excitement and innovation to the wedding celebration. Monsieur Lachambre, a notable figure in the aviation world, also attends the event, adding to the air of intrigue and modernity. The newlyweds, surrounded by the grandeur of the Mellin Airship and the historic Crystal Palace, embark on the next chapter of their lives, leaving behind the bustling city of London and setting sail for the land down under. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, blending the romance of a wedding with the thrill of early aviation.
