EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the history of Erith. The image showcases the prestigious coat and badge presentation for the Erith Charter to the esteemed Mayor and Mayoress, Mr G C Humphrey and Mrs H C Humphrey, on 28 September 1938. Stepping back into the elegant era between the wars, this monochrome photograph exudes an air of tradition and honor. The group gathered here is adorned in their distinguished uniforms, with each member proudly displaying their chain of honour. Their attire reflects an ancient costume that pays homage to centuries-old customs. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly Mr G C Humphrey and Mrs H C Humphrey as they receive this significant recognition. The seal of Erith Borough Charter serves as a symbol of authority while emphasizing their roles as leaders within the community. John Topham's masterful composition transports us back to a bygone era, allowing us to witness firsthand this remarkable ceremony steeped in heritage. As we gaze upon this piece from Europeana Photography collection, we are reminded not only of Erith's rich history but also its commitment to preserving its cultural legacy
