EDITORS COMMENTS
A Summer's Delight: The Magical World of The Proms, 1912 Step into the enchanting world of The Proms, an iconic British musical tradition that began in 1895 and continues to captivate audiences to this day. This photograph, taken in the sweltering summer of 1912, offers a glimpse into the joyous atmosphere of the promenade concerts held at Queen's Hall. The Proms, a series of classical music concerts, were known for their accessibility and affordability, making them a beloved pastime for music lovers from all walks of life. The promenade concerts, in particular, were a unique feature of these events, allowing audiences to bring their own seating and enjoy the music from the spacious terrace surrounding the concert hall. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the spirit of these concerts, with the sun casting a golden glow over the crowd gathered on the terrace. The old men, dressed in their Sunday best, sit comfortably on their folding chairs, their faces expressing a sense of contentment and delight as they listen to the music. The sandwich man, with his boards advertising the concert program, adds a touch of charm and nostalgia to the scene. The boards, adorned with the intricate details of the concert schedule, serve as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of The Proms. The promotional materials, carefully displayed, not only entice potential attendees but also contribute to the overall excitement and anticipation of the event. As the dog-days of summer give way to the crisp autumn air, The Proms continued to be a source of joy and inspiration for music lovers, a testament to the enduring power of classical music to bring people together in celebration.
