EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Preston during the Preston Guild in 1902. The Preston Guild is an ancient tradition that dates back to the 13th century, celebrated every 20 years with a grand procession, fairs, and markets. In this image, we see the vibrant scene unfolding on a sunny day in Preston, Lancashire. The photograph captures the excitement and energy of the crowd gathered around a lantern slide show. The large, ornate lantern, with its intricate designs and colorful images, would have been a popular form of entertainment during this era. The Edwardian and Victorian era attire of the onlookers adds to the vintage charm of the scene. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the architectural beauty of Preston during this time. The grand buildings and intricate details of the facades are a testament to the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the era. The horse-drawn carriages and the cobblestone streets further add to the nostalgic feel of the image. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history and traditions of Preston and Lancashire. It invites us to imagine the stories and experiences of the people who were a part of this vibrant community during the Preston Guild in 1902. The photograph is a treasure trove of history, culture, and nostalgia, and a must-have for anyone with an interest in the Victorian and Edwardian eras or the history of Lancashire.
