EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured aquatint engraving captures the vibrant atmosphere of Bartholomew Fair in 1824. The fair, which was one of London's most prominent summer Charter fairs, took place annually on August 24th within the grounds of the Priory at West Smithfield. The unmounted fan leaf print offers a unique view of the fair from 1721, showcasing rows of bustling stalls and a semi-circular layout that created an immersive experience for visitors. People from all walks of life can be seen engaging in various activities - sellers enticing customers with their wares, crowds gathering to enjoy entertainment, and individuals indulging in food and drink. Bartholomew Fair was not just a commercial event but also served as a social hub where people came together to celebrate and engage in commerce. This image provides a glimpse into the lively market scene that characterized this historic fair. The English School artist who created this artwork skillfully captured the energy and excitement permeating through every corner of Bartholomew Fair. With its intricate details and vivid colors, this print transports viewers back to an era when such fairs were an integral part of English culture. Now preserved in a private collection, this exquisite piece serves as both a historical record and a testament to the enduring allure of Bartholomew Fair.
