EDITORS COMMENTS
An exquisite piece of history captured in this photograph, showcasing an antique Chinese cabinet that holds a remarkable story. This magnificent cabinet was presented by none other than Queen Mary herself for the Christmas sale in aid of the debt fund of St Lawrence Jewry. The Verger, Mr Js Arrell, is proudly pictured alongside this royal gift on 19th November 1936. Transporting us back to the elegant streets of London in the 1930s, this monochrome image encapsulates both the grandeur and generosity of a bygone era. The clergyman donning his robes adds an air of solemnity to the scene while highlighting the importance placed upon charitable endeavors during those times. The intricate details adorning the antique Chinese cabinet speak volumes about its craftsmanship and cultural significance. It stands as a testament to Queen Mary's refined taste and her dedication towards supporting noble causes. Preserved through time by photographer Alfieri, this print not only captures a moment frozen forever but also serves as a reminder of how art can contribute to philanthropy. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded that even in our modern world, acts of kindness and compassion continue to shape our society.
