EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Saint Monday, or the Peoples Holiday, a Pic-nic at Hampton Court" takes us back to 19th-century London, where public holidays were cherished and celebrated with great enthusiasm. The scene depicts a vibrant picnic gathering in the picturesque setting of Hampton Court Palace. Amidst the lush greenery of Hampton Court Park, people from all walks of life have come together to enjoy their well-deserved day off. Families spread out on blankets, indulging in delicious food and engaging in lively conversations. Laughter fills the air as children play games and chase each other around. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this joyous occasion - Saint Monday, a term used to describe an unofficial holiday taken by workers after a weekend of hard work. It was seen as an opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation before returning to their daily routines. Hampton Court Palace stands majestically in the background, adding grandeur to this idyllic scene. Its towering architecture serves as a reminder that even amidst leisurely activities like picnics, history is never far away. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time - reminded of simpler days when public holidays were eagerly anticipated and enjoyed by all. This artwork encapsulates not only the spirit of community but also highlights how important it is to take moments for ourselves – whether it be through vacations or simple picnics – to recharge our souls and appreciate life's little
