EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Esther Bruce (extreme right) at a family wedding in Fulham, London, in 1949. Esther, born in 1912, was a working-class, mixed race seamstress who defied the racial and social barriers of her time. Her father was Guyanese, and her mother was English, making her part of the vibrant and diverse community in London during the 1930s. Despite the challenges she faced, Esther's talent and determination led her to create beautiful dresses for the renowned singer Elisabeth Welch.
