Oh, Fred, Tell Them to Stop
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Captivating Moment from the Past at the Fairground (circa 1860) In this evocative image from the annals of history, we witness a heartfelt plea from a young woman named Maria as she implores the operator, Fred, to halt the swing ride at a bustling fairground. The year is circa 1860, and the scene is alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of entertainment and amusement. Maria's cry of "Oh, Fred, tell them to stop" reverberates through the air, her voice a testament to the thrill and excitement that comes with the ride's ascent. Yet, the riders' responses of "Wo" and "let it go" indicate their desire for the ride to continue, their laughter and joy adding to the lively atmosphere. The swing, a popular ride at fairs and amusement parks, is depicted in all its glory, with its wooden seats swinging gently in the breeze, the ropes taut, and the roundabout's vibrant colors and intricate designs on full display. The scene is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of life were found in the company of friends, family, and the thrill of the fairground. This image, a beautiful cover from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the magic and wonder of a moment long past. It serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of fairground rides and the memories they create, as well as the universal language of laughter, joy, and the occasional plea for mercy. So, let us take a moment to appreciate this enchanting image, to imagine ourselves among the laughter and excitement of the fairground, and to remember the simple pleasures that have brought joy to generations. Oh, Fred, let us cherish these moments, for they are truly priceless.
