EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Bardic Procession at the National Eisteddfod of Wales, held at Ystradgynlas, Breconshire in 1955. The Eisteddfodau, which were established to encourage and preserve Welsh music, poetry, literature, and cultural traditions, have a rich history dating back to the late 12th century. In this image, we see a procession of proud and distinguished Bards, dressed in traditional Welsh attire, making their way through the crowd. The Bards, who were considered the guardians of Welsh culture and language, were an integral part of the Eisteddfod, and the competition for the Chair of the Bards was the most prestigious event. The ancient Druidic symbols and traditions, which have influenced Welsh culture, can be seen in the decorative elements of the Bards' costumes and the surrounding landscape. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1950s and the vibrant cultural scene of Wales during this time. The National Eisteddfod of Wales continues to be an important celebration of Welsh heritage and identity, attracting visitors from around the world.
