A grand civic celebration: the Chelsea Historic Pageant of 1908

 

Excerpt: Influenza is still a fashionable disease, but it will soon be eclipsed by that still more modern form of indisposition, 'Pageantitus'โ€ฆPageantitus differs from other forms of contagious disorders in that it is willingly, if not eagerly contracted. By the arrival of midsummer every other man and woman met on the street will be a red cross knight, an ancient Briton, a dame of Wales, a damsel in distress awaiting the succour of her champion, or a good, honest, fearless, crimson, long-tailed Welsh dragon
