EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by an English photographer in 1936, we are transported back to Derby Day at Epsom. The image captures a moment of lightheartedness and anticipation as Pearly King and Queens gather together, attempting to pick the winner of the race. Dressed in their distinctive costumes adorned with mother-of-pearl buttons, these traditional figures bring a touch of charm and eccentricity to the scene. Surrounded by police officers donning their uniforms, complete with hats and helmets, the atmosphere is filled with excitement. Laughter can be heard echoing through the air as men and women alike engage in friendly banter while trying to make their predictions. The Pearly King stands tall amongst his fellow participants, collecting tins held tightly in hand for charity purposes. His regal presence adds a sense of grandeur to this snapshot from history. As horse racing enthusiasts eagerly await the outcome of the racecourse drama unfolding before them, newspaper clippings flutter about capturing every detail. This quintessentially British event showcases not only a love for sports but also highlights cultural traditions that have endured throughout generations. With Germany's influence on Europe looming large during this time period, it is interesting to note how different cultures come together on this occasion. The photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst political tensions, moments like these unite people across borders - celebrating shared passions regardless of nationality or background. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into both British culture and European history while reminding us of simpler times when joy could be found in picking winners at Derby Day races.
