This print takes us back to the year 1902, where a momentous celebration was taking place on Osney Bridge in Oxford. The occasion? The coronation of King Edward VII. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are immediately drawn to the large crowd of people that have gathered for an extraordinary event - an ox roast. The atmosphere is electric with excitement as men, women, and children come together to commemorate this historic milestone. Their faces reflect anticipation and joy as they eagerly await their turn to savor the succulent meat being prepared before them. The aroma of roasting beef fills the air, mingling with laughter and conversation. In the background, we catch a glimpse of the majestic river Thames flowing calmly beneath Osney Bridge. Its tranquil waters provide a serene backdrop against which this vibrant scene unfolds. Captured by renowned photographer Henry W Taunt, this image not only documents a significant moment in history but also serves as a testament to community spirit and shared celebrations. It reminds us of simpler times when communities would gather for such festivities, forging bonds that would last lifetimes. As we delve into this photograph's rich details, it transports us back over a century ago – allowing us to witness firsthand how people came together amidst grandeur and nature's beauty to honor their new monarch.
