EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the scenic beauty and social charm of a Fête Champêtre, or rural picnic concert, held at Watcombe, near Torquay, Devon, in 1852. The grand natural amphitheatre in which the performances took place was an unexpected gift from nature, formed by a landslip. The rocky backdrop, with its intriguing geological formations, served as a breathtaking setting for the festivities. The open-air concert scene is filled with an air of excitement and joy, as the audience gathers around the makeshift stage, anticipating the musical delights to come. The doors of the amphitheatre are wide open, inviting all to partake in the social event. The sea, glistening in the distance, adds to the picturesque setting, creating an idyllic atmosphere. The 1850s Fête Champêtre was a popular social event in the English countryside, where people would come together to enjoy music, food, and each other's company. The natural amphitheatre at Watcombe provided the perfect setting for such an occasion, with its stunning views and unique acoustics. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the social and cultural life of the 1850s. It also showcases the beauty of Devon's natural landscapes and the enduring allure of open-air music performances.
