EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Al Fresco Fayre and Floral Fete, held at the iconic Albert Hall in London. The event was organized to raise funds for the esteemed Grosvenor Hospital for Women and Children, showcasing a delightful array of festivities and entertainment. The image transports us back to June 8,1889, as depicted in The Illustrated London News. Maypoles adorned with colorful ribbons stand tall amidst a picturesque scene featuring moss cottages, fern bowers, and windmills that dot the landscape. Excitement fills the air as children frolic around these charming structures while adults revel in their merriment. A sense of community is palpable as families gather together to support this noble cause. Mr. Arthur Roberts, a renowned figure from that era's entertainment industry, graces the event with his presence. His comedic talent brings joy to both young and old attendees alike. The enchanting floral arrangements add an extra touch of elegance to this al fresco affair. A bee hive symbolizes productivity while golden grain guides our attention towards abundance and prosperity. Through this print by Frederick George Kitton, we are reminded of how art can capture moments frozen in time—moments filled with laughter, camaraderie, and compassion for those in need. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring spirit of generosity and unity when faced with challenges concerning women's health and childcare—a timeless reminder that even through history's lens we find inspiration for our present
