EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print, titled "Fairlop Fair" transports us back to the vibrant and lively atmosphere of a celebrated annual fair held in Essex during the 18th and 19th centuries. Painted by Charles Leslie, this masterpiece measures an impressive 92.7x135.9 cm and is currently housed in Arundel Castle, belonging to His Grace The Duke of Norfolk. The scene depicted in this artwork showcases a picturesque village green bustling with activity. Tents dot the landscape as country villagers gather for a day filled with games, archery competitions, and various forms of entertainment. The painting beautifully captures the essence of community spirit as families enjoy a fun-filled day trip amidst Hainault Forest's scenic backdrop. Livestock grazes peacefully nearby while children eagerly participate in festivities that bring joy to all ages. This Victorian-era celebration exudes charm and nostalgia, transporting viewers to a simpler time when fairs were cherished events that brought communities together. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the importance placed on communal gatherings throughout history. "Fairlop Fair" serves as both an exquisite work of art and a testament to the enduring human desire for connection and shared experiences within rural settings.
