EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of Bartholomew Fair, a beloved street fair and market that once graced the bustling streets of London, England. Dating back to 1133, this annual event was held on 24 August within the grounds of the Priory of St Bartholomew at West Smithfield. The fair served as a means to raise funds for the priory's charitable endeavors. In this particular image, we see a snapshot of life during the early 19th century. A man is depicted digging deep into his pocket to pay a stall holder, showcasing the spirit of commerce and exchange that permeated through these lively gatherings. Meanwhile, in another corner, a group joyfully dances to music played by talented musicians. The scene is filled with an eclectic mix of men, women, and children who have come together to revel in this festive occasion. Their colorful attire adds vibrancy to an already bustling crowd. This photograph not only represents a moment frozen in time but also provides us with glimpses into daily life during this era. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from our Fine Art Storehouse collection, we are transported back in time - immersed in the sights and sounds that once animated Bartholomew Fair. It serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a reminder of how communities came together centuries ago for charity and relief work while enjoying moments of leisure amidst their busy lives.
