EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the turn of the century with this print titled 'New Year's Costumes, 1909. ' Taken during the Mummers Parade held annually on New Year's Day in Philadelphia, this image captures the excitement and joy that filled the streets of North America's oldest continuous folk parade. In this snapshot, we see a vibrant display of American celebration as people don elaborate costumes and take on various personifications. A young girl dressed as a dove symbolizes peace and hope for the year ahead, while another spectator embodies luck by wearing a horseshoe costume. The Mummers Parade was known for its pantomime-like performances, where participants would entertain crowds with their creative outfits and lively acts. The photograph showcases not only the diversity of costumes but also highlights early 20th-century fashion trends. Women can be seen adorned in elegant robes, reflecting the style of that era. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as spectators line up along the parade route to catch a glimpse of these enchanting characters. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still cherished today. It serves as a reminder that traditions like these have shaped our cultural heritage and continue to bring communities together every New Year's Day.
