This print captures the legendary Bobby Moore, renowned West Ham and England footballer, alongside his wife in an enchanting fancy dress as Pearly King and Queen. The image, taken in April 1975, showcases their impeccable costumes adorned with exquisite mother of pearl buttons. The couple's attire pays homage to the rich tradition of costermongers - street vendors who originally sold fruits and vegetables in Britain. This term has now evolved to encompass all street sellers. Their elaborate outfits reflect the vibrant spirit of cockney culture prevalent during the 1970s. In this studio portrait, Bobby Moore exudes his trademark charisma while standing proudly beside his wife, who radiates elegance as a Pearly Queen. The photograph not only highlights their love for each other but also offers a glimpse into their shared passion for family and festivities.
