Bartholomew Fair (1721): A Vibrant and Colorful Depiction of London's Historic Carnival This semi-circular print, published by J.F. Setchel in London around 1820, offers a glimpse into the lively and bustling scene of Bartholomew Fair in 1721. The image, filled with intricate details and rich colors, transports us back in time to an era of trickery, punch, and merrymaking. Bartholomew Fair was an annual event held in London, celebrated on the feast day of St. Bartholomew, August 24th. The fairground was a temporary village of amusements, trades, and entertainment, attracting thousands of visitors from all walks of life. The print showcases a myriad of attractions, including a trickster selling fake oysters, a Harlequin and his dog, a conjuror performing magic tricks with the help of bellows, a contortionist, and a carnival ride reminiscent of a siege engine. The fair was known for its diverse range of activities, from drinking and eating at wine and beer stalls, to watching plays on makeshift stages, and even witnessing the sale of Holophenes, or human curiosities. The print also depicts various rides, such as the merry-go-round, and games, like card playing and toy selling. Among the crowd, we see a butcher pulling a cart, a seller of Harlequin masks, and a fortune teller. The fair was a place where one could find both the ordinary and the extraordinary, where the line between reality and fiction blurred. This print is a testament to the rich history and vibrant culture of Bartholomew Fair, a time when Londoners came together to celebrate, indulge, and be entertained.
