EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print from 1838 takes us back in time to a remarkable event that unfolded on the icy waters of the Thames River. The image depicts the Frost Fair on the Thames at London, which occurred between 1734 and 1740. As we gaze upon this historical scene, we are transported to an era when freezing temperatures transformed this iconic waterway into a bustling fairground. The frozen river stretches out before us, its surface covered in a thick layer of ice that seems to shimmer under the pale winter sun. People can be seen scattered across the frozen expanse, engaged in various activities that defy our expectations for such an inhospitable environment. Couples glide gracefully across makeshift ice rinks while children excitedly explore stalls selling trinkets and treats. The atmosphere is one of joyous celebration amidst nature's wintry grip. This woodcut print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability in the face of extreme weather conditions. As we admire this piece of meteorological history, it reminds us of how climate can shape societies and create unique opportunities for communal gatherings even during times when survival may seem challenging. This print stands as both a visual masterpiece and an intriguing glimpse into London's past - where frosty winters brought about moments of unexpected delight along the frigid banks of the Thames River.
