EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and colorful poster invites the public to join the Coronation Easter Parade in 1953, an unique event in British history, with a bicycle built by Raleigh Industries. The poster, dated circa 1953, depicts a joyful procession of people riding their New Elizabethan model bicycles, adorned with Easter decorations, making their way through a seaside town. The backdrop of the parade is the sparkling blue sea, adding to the festive atmosphere of the occasion. The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 was a significant moment in British history, and this Easter Parade was an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate the occasion in a fun and active way. The use of bicycles as the mode of transport for the parade was a clever and practical solution, reflecting the popularity of cycling during the 1950s and the role of the bicycle manufacturing industry, represented here by Raleigh Industries. The New Elizabethan model bicycle was a product of the post-war boom in manufacturing and trade, and this poster serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the time. The people in the poster, dressed in their Sunday best, exude a sense of excitement and pride as they ride their bicycles, making this a truly memorable moment in the history of cycling and British culture. The poster's design is reminiscent of the 1950s and 50s, with its bold colors, typography, and illustrative style. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the spirit of the era and the role that bicycles played in the lives of people during this time.
