EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Traditional Christmas Cattle Fair held in Battle, Sussex on November 27,1945. The image transports us to a time when eager buyers crowded around the auctioneer, captivated by his persuasive words extolling the prime qualities of a handsome beast. With Christmas just around the corner, these potential purchases had the power to make some people's tables groan with delight on that special day. The scene captured in this photograph showcases a general view of the bustling fair. A monochrome ambiance adds an air of nostalgia as we observe a circle formed by a wooden fence enclosing both livestock and interested spectators. Amidst this lively atmosphere stands a majestic bull, its presence commanding attention from all those present. Transported back to the 1940s through this timeless image, we are reminded of simpler times when community gatherings like cattle fairs brought people together during festive seasons. This photograph serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate how traditions have evolved over time while also highlighting our enduring connection with animals and nature. Captured by TopFoto. co. uk, this remarkable snapshot encapsulates not only an era but also emotions associated with Christmastime - anticipation, excitement, and perhaps even gratitude for what lies ahead on that joyous day.
