Bournville Cadbury Cadburys Fete Pageant

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting world of Bournville Village in the 1920s, as captured in this beautiful vintage lantern slide from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. The image depicts a lively pageant or play taking place in the picturesque village, with villagers dressed in Victorian and Edwardian costumes bringing the past to life. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quaint village green, dotted with colorful tents and bunting, while a large crowd gathers around the makeshift stage. Actors in period attire, some holding props and others in animated conversation, add to the sense of excitement and anticipation. The village of Bournville, founded by chocolate magnate George Cadbury in the late 19th century, was renowned for its idyllic setting, green spaces, and community spirit. This spirit is evident in the image, as villagers come together to put on a show for the enjoyment of all. The lantern slide, with its warm, rich tones and intricate details, transports us back to a simpler time, when community gatherings and local entertainment were a source of joy and connection. The image is a testament to the enduring power of the arts to bring people together and create lasting memories.
