EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by George Cruikshank takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of Beulah Spa in the 19th century. The scene unfolds with a delightful blend of humor and satire, showcasing the artist's keen observation of society. In this snapshot of July, we witness a fascinating juxtaposition between two contrasting events. On one side, a fainting woman is being revived with smelling salts, her delicate figure capturing our attention. Meanwhile, amidst the commotion, an animated fight breaks out among men wielding musical instruments like guitars. This chaotic spectacle adds an element of comicality to the overall composition. The Beulah Spa itself was established in Upper Norwood (now part of London) in 1831 as a popular destination for leisure and relaxation during summer months.
