EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the Thames Grand Regatta Fair at Putney, near London, in 1846. The serene River Thames, with its shimmering waters reflecting the sunlight, sets the stage for an exhilarating day of competition and entertainment. The grand regatta, a popular rowing event, attracted thousands of spectators from all walks of life, who gathered along the banks of the river to witness the excitement. In this photograph, we see a throng of onlookers, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly anticipating the races. The women, adorned in elegant gowns and bonnets, chatter animatedly with one another, while the men, in top hats and tailcoats, engage in lively conversation. The sense of camaraderie and community is palpable, as friends and families come together to enjoy the festivities. Beyond the throngs of spectators, the fairground tents beckon with their enticing attractions. From the Ferris wheel, offering breathtaking views of the river and the surrounding landscape, to the games of chance and skill, there was something for everyone. The tantalizing aroma of roasted nuts, candy apples, and other treats wafts through the air, adding to the sensory experience of the day. As the sun begins to set, the promise of another day of excitement and adventure on the Thames unfolds, leaving us longing for a time when life moved a little slower, and the simple pleasures of community and camaraderie held center stage.
