EDITORS COMMENTS
The Preston Guild Festival (engraving) captures the vibrant spirit of a bygone era. This 19th-century print, featured in The Illustrated London News, transports us back to the grandeur and elegance of the ceremonial events that took place during the festival. In this particular scene, we witness a juvenile calico fancy ball held as part of the festivities. Young boys and girls don extravagant costumes, their dresses adorned with intricate patterns and delicate fabrics. Each outfit is meticulously crafted to impress and captivate onlookers. The focal point of the image is a group of children proudly presenting a silver spade to none other than the Duchess of Albany herself. This symbolic gesture signifies both honor and respect for her presence at this momentous occasion. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as attendees revel in this joyous celebration. Shovels are playfully incorporated into some outfits, reminding us that even amidst formalities, there is room for whimsy and fun. This engraving not only showcases Lancashire's rich history but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of The Preston Guild Festival. It reminds us how traditions can bring communities together in unity and merriment.
