EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Southwark Fair, 1733" by renowned artist William Hogarth, takes us back to the vibrant streets of London in the early 18th century. Captured in 1920 as part of the book "Londoners Then and Now As Pictured By Their Contemporaries" edited by Geoffrey Holme, this image offers a glimpse into the lively atmosphere of Southwark Fair. The bustling avenue is adorned with colorful banners and flags fluttering in the wind, creating a festive ambiance. The baroque architecture of surrounding buildings adds an air of grandeur to the scene. Crowds fill every inch of space along the road, engrossed in various forms of entertainment offered at this raucous fair. Amidst all the chaos, we see men and women dressed in period attire enjoying themselves. A tightrope walker captivates onlookers with his daring act while caricature artists capture amusing portraits nearby. Local people from all walks of life come together to revel in this day filled with funfair attractions. As our eyes wander through this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when Southwark Fair was one of London's most anticipated events. This print serves as a testament to Hogarth's exceptional talent for capturing not only physical details but also the essence and spirit that define city life throughout history.
