This print captures a significant moment in history - "The distribution of Maundy Money at Westminster Abbey". Taken on 1 April 1926, the image showcases the solemn ceremony led by the Dean of Westminster, Dr Foxley Norris. In this monochrome masterpiece, we see a group of distinguished men and women gathered inside the iconic Westminster Abbey. They are adorned in elegant robes, symbolizing their religious roles and responsibilities. The atmosphere is filled with reverence as they participate in an age-old custom. At the center of attention stands Dr Foxley Norris, his presence commanding respect from all those present. He holds a mace, representing authority and tradition within this sacred space. Surrounding him are individuals eagerly awaiting their turn to receive Maundy Money - alms given by royalty during Holy Week. Amongst the crowd is a diligent policeman ensuring orderliness during this cherished event. The room is adorned with beautiful flowers that add a touch of serenity to the scene. Alfieri's skillful photography transports us back to Europe in the 1920s, capturing not only an important religious ritual but also providing us with glimpses into society at that time. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of our shared history and traditions while showcasing Alfieri's talent for immortalizing moments that resonate across generations.
