EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Palm Sunday procession through the bustling High Street of Orpington, Kent in 1935. The image, taken by renowned photographer John Topham, transports us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the interwar period in Europe. In this snapshot from history, we see a diverse crowd of people lining the streets as they eagerly await the arrival of the procession. Men, women, and children stand outside charming shops adorned with signs advertising their wares. A uniformed policeman can be seen maintaining order amidst the excitement. At the forefront of this lively scene is a crucifer leading the way with palm leaves held high above his head. Behind him follows a choir singing hymns that fill the air with melodic devotion. This annual tradition marks an important event on the Christian calendar - Easter Sunday - symbolizing Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this remarkable photograph print. It serves as a poignant reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten; a glimpse into everyday life during one of Europe's most transformative periods
