18 Incredible Color Pictures Of Easter In The 1950s
In the 1950s, the phrase “Sunday’s best” meant something quite different than it does today. On Easter Sunday, families from all walks of life would dust off their best and most extravagant dresses, hats, and suits in celebration of the holiday — and in New York City,
the Easter Day parade was a place for all of these bold and colorful fashions to hit the street for all to see. While the popularity of some holiday traditions may be slowly fading into history, one amateur archivist with a passion for collecting vintage film has discovered a treasure trove of pictures that show in stunning color what this incredible event looked like in 1953., recently discovered a previously unseen collection of amateur photographs taken on the streets of New York City during its annual Easter celebration.
I gradually discovered more slides at flea markets — pictures of journeys to California, New York, Paris, and Europe. I was finding amazing images of just everyday life, families at home, children playing in the yard with friends on bikes. It was amazing to see so many hidden treasures on old slides.Now granted, I’ve bought slides and there was nothing interesting on them. I’d say out of every 100 slides that I uncover, I’ll find 10 that are a shots that I’d save.
That’s how it happened with the Easter slides. I purchased the set off eBay, sight unseen. The seller said they had no viewer to see what the slides were. When I received the slides, I discovered one box that said “Easter Parade 1953.” When I looked at the first one I was amazed at the people and the fashion of that day. To see so many people dressed up — it was amazing! That’s when I knew I hit on something good.
