EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment as the Choristers of St Clement Danes beat the boundaries of their parish. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases a traditional custom that dates back centuries in England. The choristers, dressed in their choir robes, can be seen standing on a boat on the River Thames, with views of London's iconic landmarks in the background. Beating the boundaries was an important ritual where members of a parish would walk around its borders to mark and protect its territory. In this case, it is fascinating to see how these young boys are participating in such a significant tradition. Their wands held high, they symbolically assert their connection to St Clement Danes and ensure that its boundaries remain intact. The photograph not only provides insight into British customs and traditions but also offers glimpses into early 20th-century life along the riverbanks of London. It serves as a reminder of how history shapes our present and connects us to our cultural heritage. This image is part of a private collection and was originally used as an illustration for "Wonderful London" by St John Adcock in the 1930s. Its gravure-printed quality adds depth and texture to this snapshot from another era. Whether you appreciate history or simply admire beautiful photography, this print is sure to captivate your imagination with its timeless charm.
