EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on 28 February 1928, we see the Duchess of York, Lady Crosfield, and a crowd gathered at the opening of the new building of the North Islington Welfare Centre in Manor Gardens, north London. The event was marked by a royal visit from Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon and her husband George VI, who would later become known as Queen Mother and Queen Mum respectively. The image captures a moment filled with excitement and anticipation as workers and members of the community eagerly await the arrival of their esteemed guests. The Union Jack flag proudly flutters in the background, symbolizing unity and national pride. Both women are elegantly dressed for the occasion; their fur-trimmed coats adding an air of sophistication to their outfits. Despite being partaking in official duties, they both wear warm smiles that radiate genuine warmth towards those present. Possibly walking on a red carpet laid out for them, this charitable visit highlights their dedication to supporting worthy causes within society. Their presence undoubtedly uplifts spirits among attendees while emphasizing the importance of philanthropy within royalty. This print by Between The Wars offers us a glimpse into an era characterized by social change and resilience between two world wars. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, acts of kindness can bring communities together under one noble cause - making it truly timeless.
