EDITORS COMMENTS
A Blast from the Past: The Magical Frozen Thames of 1683 as Depicted on the Front Cover of The Sphere Christmas Number 17th Century Meets 20th Century! Step back in time with this illustration from the front cover of The Sphere magazine's Christmas issue in 1938. The image transports us to the icy waters of the Thames in the winter of 1683, where the river was frozen solid for an extended period, allowing for the famous Frost Fair to take place. The Frost Fair was a unique event in London's history, with stallholders and entertainers setting up shop on the frozen river, offering a variety of goods and amusements to the thousands who braved the cold to attend. The illustration showcases the bustling scene on the ice, with ships and boats frozen in place, and people enjoying themselves amidst the wintry wonderland. The Sphere magazine, first published in 1890, was a popular weekly publication in the UK that featured a wide range of articles, illustrations, and photographs. This particular issue, from the late 1930s, showcases the magic of the past, transporting us back to a time when the Thames froze over and Londoners came together to celebrate the winter season in a most extraordinary way. As we admire the beauty and intrigue of this illustration, we are reminded of the power of history to captivate and inspire us, and the enduring allure of the winter season, even in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the modern world.
