EDITORS COMMENTS
Setting up the Fair captures the vibrant anticipation and bustling energy of a 19th-century British fair. This oil painting, created by an anonymous English artist, showcases a scene filled with circus tents and figures eagerly preparing for the grand spectacle ahead. Measuring at 34.9x26.6 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. The eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums have preserved this exquisite piece from their collection of historical treasures. The composition transports viewers back to a time when travelling fairs were a popular form of entertainment in Victorian Britain. The meticulous attention to detail brings each element to life - from the colorful carnival tents that dot the landscape to the lively figures engaged in various tasks. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the joyous atmosphere that permeated these fairs; where families gathered to experience thrilling rides, indulge in delectable treats, and marvel at awe-inspiring performances. This painting beautifully encapsulates both the charm and excitement associated with such events during early 20th century Britain. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with fairgrounds and their ability to captivate audiences across generations.
