EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a momentous event in the heart of Wilmington, unfolding in the year 1936. The image showcases the grand opening of the highly anticipated Wilmington fete, with E D Waters assuming the role of honor to inaugurate this joyous occasion. As one's gaze wanders through this monochrome masterpiece, it becomes evident that every element has been meticulously arranged to create an atmosphere brimming with excitement. The crowd eagerly gathers around, their faces filled with anticipation as they await Waters' presence. Amongst them are young girls adorned in delicate dresses and boys dressed smartly for the occasion. Their youthful energy is palpable amidst a sea of personalities from all walks of life who have come together to celebrate this remarkable day. Intriguingly, a young boy catches our attention as he presents a vibrant bouquet of flowers to Waters - perhaps symbolizing unity and gratitude towards his esteemed guest. A loyal companion stands beside him; a striking black dog whose presence adds an air of charm and playfulness to the scene. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time by renowned photographer John Topham, we are transported back to an era characterized by resilience and hope between two world wars. This extraordinary piece serves as both a testament to human spirit and a reminder that even amidst uncertainty, communities can unite in celebration – creating memories that withstand the test of time.
