EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Lady Pilkington in the midst of a charitable act, selling roses at the first anniversary of Alexandra Rose Day on 25 June 1913. The event was established in 1912 to honor Queen Alexandra's fifty years since arriving in Britain as King Edward VII's consort. Lady Pilkington stands elegantly on a British lane, adorned with a fashionable hat that epitomizes early 20th-century style. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the intersection of fashion and philanthropy. Lady Pilkington embodies grace as she engages passersby with her trade, offering beautiful flowers to raise funds for charity. Her presence adds an air of nobility to this humble street scene. The image transports us back to an era when community support and generosity were paramount values. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling streets and busy lives, acts of kindness can flourish like blossoming roses along the pavement. Lady Kathleen Pilkington's dedication to this cause echoes the spirit of Queen Alexandra herself, known for her compassion and commitment to charitable endeavors. This photograph not only commemorates their efforts but also pays homage to Princess Alexandra of Denmark who became an integral part of British history through her marriage into royalty. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from 1935, we are reminded that charity knows no boundaries - it transcends time and place while leaving an indelible mark on society's collective memory.
