EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by William Hogarth, titled "Southwark Fair, 1733" offers a vivid glimpse into the vibrant festivities of the time. Set in Borough High Street, London, this two-week fair held every September was a beloved event until its abolition in 1762. The scene is bustling with activity as actors perform on a makeshift stage while an enthusiastic crowd watches eagerly. The atmosphere is filled with joy and merriment as musicians play their instruments - a piper and drummer adding rhythm to the air. In the background, we catch sight of a towering church spire and the Union Jack flag proudly fluttering above. Hogarth's attention to detail is remarkable; he captures not only the excitement but also moments of chaos. One can't help but notice that something seems amiss on stage – perhaps an unexpected twist or even a collapse? It adds an element of suspense to this lively gathering. This print transports us back in time to experience firsthand the energy and spirit of Southwark Fair. It serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece that encapsulates the essence of festivity and social gatherings during that era.
