The Fair on the Frozen Thames, 1814
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to a bygone era. Taken in 1920 by Luke Clennell, this image captures the essence of a frost fair held on the icy River Thames in London during the early 19th century. In this bustling scene, we see local Londoners enjoying themselves amidst the frozen landscape. The fairground rides and tents dotting the river create an atmosphere of excitement and merriment. Children can be seen playing and laughing, their rosy cheeks contrasting against the cold backdrop. The frozen river itself becomes a stage for entertainment as people engage in various activities. Men and women are seen "messing about" skating or simply strolling along, taking in the unique spectacle before them. The presence of literature suggests that even amidst all the fun, some visitors found solace in books. Luke Clennell's monochrome composition beautifully captures both the joyous spirit of this event and its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how communities came together to embrace winter's icy grip with laughter and camaraderie. This print from "Londoners Then and Now As Pictured By Their Contemporaries" edited by Geoffrey Holme offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary moment in British history when freezing temperatures transformed nature into an enchanting playground for all ages.
