EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a whimsical scene from the beloved novel, "The Vicar of Wakefield" by Oliver Goldsmith. Illustrated by Margaret Jameson in 1910, this colourful lithograph depicts Moses attending a vibrant fair. As we delve into the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to Moses, an endearing character who is portrayed walking through the fairgrounds with his son. With banners fluttering above and cheerful crowds bustling around them, it's clear that this fair is a lively celebration. Moses carries goods on his back as he strolls through the scene, showcasing the spirit of entrepreneurship and trade that often accompanies such festive gatherings. The women in traditional attire add to the charm of this Irish fair while men engage in animated conversations amidst stalls filled with delectable fruits and produce. Every detail in this illustration exudes joy and merriment; it transports us back to a time when fairs were not only sources of entertainment but also important social events for communities. It reminds us of simpler times when families would come together to enjoy each other's company and revel in the wonders offered at these delightful affairs. Through this artwork, Jameson beautifully captures both the essence of literary characters like Moses and their connection to real-life celebrations like fairs. This print serves as a visual tribute to Goldsmith's timeless work while inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its enchanting world once more.
