EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grandeur and celebration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, commemorated at Longholme School in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, England, in 1897. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of elegance and tradition. The photograph features a magnificent gate adorned with intricate ironwork, adorned with lanterns and banners, all proudly displaying the Union Jack and the monarch's portrait. The gates, a symbol of the school's loyalty and commitment to the Queen, stand tall and proud, framing the entrance to the educational institution. Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee marked her 60th year on the throne, making her the longest-reigning monarch in British history at that time. The occasion was celebrated across the country with grand processions, banquets, and public events. Schools, like Longholme, also joined in the festivities, often holding special assemblies and decorating their premises to mark the momentous occasion. The photograph's vintage aesthetic, with its soft focus and muted colors, adds to the sense of nostalgia and history. The Edwardian era, which followed the Victorian period, is also evident in the clothing and accessories of the people in the image. The children, dressed in their best attire, stand proudly in front of the gates, adding a personal touch to the celebration. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and traditions of education in Rossendale and beyond. It serves as a reminder of the significance of Queen Victoria's reign and the impact it had on the country and its people.
