This engraving, titled "Fancy Fair in the Pavilion, Brighton, for the Benefit of the Brighton Dispensary" transports us back to a vibrant and charitable event that took place in 1851. The image showcases an exquisite scene within the iconic Royal Pavilion in Brighton, Sussex. The pavilion's grandeur serves as a magnificent backdrop for this fundraising fair. The print captures the essence of community spirit and generosity as people gather together to support the Brighton Dispensary.

Brighton Beach provides a picturesque setting just beyond the pavilion's doors, adding to the charm of this scene. It is evident that attendees are not only drawn by their desire to contribute to a worthy cause but also by their eagerness to enjoy a day out at one of England's most beloved seaside destinations.
