EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early 1930s, a Pearly King and his young son proudly pose among the lively crowd at the renowned Epsom Derby horse races in Surrey, England. The Pearly King, dressed in his traditional regalia, wears a suit adorned with pearly buttons and a bowler hat bedecked with pearly shells. His son, dressed in a miniature version of his father's attire, gazes up at him with a sense of awe and admiration. The Pearly Kings and Queens of London are an enduring and distinctive part of British social history. Originating in the late 18th century, they were originally costermongers, or street vendors, who formed fraternal societies to provide mutual aid and support. The pearly decorations on their clothing were originally meant to protect them from the rain and mud of the streets. Over time, the Pearly Kings and Queens became a symbol of London's East End and its vibrant working-class culture. The Epsom Derby, first run in 1780, is one of the most prestigious and historic horse races in the world. The annual event attracts large crowds from across the UK and beyond, making it an ideal backdrop for this photograph. The scene captures the excitement and joy of the day, as well as the sense of community and tradition that underpins both the Pearly King culture and the Derby itself. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when such public displays of working-class pride and camaraderie were more commonplace. It also underscores the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Britain, which continues to inspire and captivate people around the world.
