EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Nottingham Goose Fair in 1910, depicted through an oil on canvas painting by Noel Denholm Davis. The artwork, measuring 45.7x50.8 cm, is housed in the Nottingham City Museums and Galleries at Nottingham Castle. The Nottingham Goose Fair, believed to have originated around 1284, was an annual travelling funfair that held great significance for the people of Nottinghamshire. In 1927, it found its new home at the Forest Recreation Ground after being relocated from the Old Market Square. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with various elements that defined this historic fair. A flag flutters proudly against a backdrop of smoke billowing from steam engines, symbolizing progress and industrialization in England's East Midlands region. Balloons float gracefully above as stalls bustle with activity and a diverse crowd gathers to enjoy rides and games. One cannot help but be drawn into this lively atmosphere where laughter echoes from helter skelters and carousels spin merrily amidst amusement park lights. This snapshot of English leisure exemplifies the joyous spirit that permeated throughout such fairs during this era. Through Davis' skillful brushstrokes, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the excitement and thrill of one of England's oldest traditions – a celebration cherished by generations past and present alike.
