EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a cherished moment in London's history as a family prepares for their Whit Monday outing to Epping Forest in 1893. Whit Monday, also known as Whitsun Monday, was a traditional holiday celebrated seven weeks after Easter, marking the end of the Easter season. For many Londoners, this day was an opportunity to escape the city and enjoy the natural beauty of Epping Forest, located just north of London. In this image, we see a family of six, dressed in their Sunday best, piling onto a donkey cart. The father, wearing a top hat and holding the reins, sits confidently at the helm. His wife, wearing a long, flowing dress and a bonnet, sits beside him, holding onto their youngest child. Two older children sit in the back, while the two youngest cling to their parents. The donkey, adorned with colorful ribbons and flowers, looks steadfast as it carries its precious cargo. The scene is idyllic, with a picturesque countryside backdrop and a sense of joy and excitement in the air. The family's journey to Epping Forest would have been an all-day affair, filled with picnics, games, and relaxation. This engraving serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and traditions that once brought Londoners together, long before the hustle and bustle of modern city life took over. The intricate details of the engraving, from the family's clothing to the donkey's harness, transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the past. This historical image is a testament to the enduring appeal of nature, family, and the simple joys of a holiday outing.
