In The Stocks - A Glimpse into the Corby Pole Fair, Circa 1910
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this print from the early 20th century. Captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, this black and white landscape format transports us to the vibrant atmosphere of the Corby Pole Fair. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the stocks, a symbol of punishment for those who refused to pay tolls during the fair. With five holes available, it becomes evident that offenders were often confined by one leg only. However, what makes this scene truly intriguing is its unique twist - during the fair, it is not miscreants but rather officials who find themselves locked in these wooden restraints at the end of a procession. As we delve deeper into British customs and ceremonies, we witness an age-old tradition where even authority figures are subjected to playful confinement. In exchange for their temporary imprisonment, these officials are graciously offered a refreshing drink in good spirits. With a bowler hat perched atop one man's head and glassware filled with libations scattered about, every detail within this photograph speaks volumes about English culture at that time. It serves as a fascinating glimpse into history while reminding us that even amidst strict traditions and formalities, there was room for lightheartedness and camaraderie. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse allows you to own a tangible slice of heritage; an evocative snapshot frozen in time forevermore
