EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the lively atmosphere of Southwark Fair, a beloved annual event that took place in Borough High Street, London. The scene is reminiscent of William Hogarth's famous painting from 1733, depicting a rowdy crowd indulging in the festivities. In this image, we can see a multitude of intriguing figures: actors tumbling from a stage on the left, a daring tightrope walker in the background, and even a talented performing dog stealing the show. Musicians add to the merriment in the foreground. Southwark Fair was held for two weeks every September until its abolition in 1762. This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when such fairs were eagerly anticipated by both locals and visitors alike. The fair provided entertainment for all ages and backgrounds, with its mix of theatrical performances, music, and various amusements. The print is part of "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People And Its Places" authored by Edward Walford and published by Cassell & Company Ltd. , Petter & Galpin Co. , London Paris & New York around 1878. Although the creator remains unknown, their work beautifully encapsulates this vibrant moment in time. As we observe this bustling street scene frozen within monochrome tones, we are transported back to an era where joyous revelry filled Southwark's streets during those cherished weeks each year.
