EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the closed entrance to Corby Fair, a scene steeped in history and tradition. The image depicts a moment frozen in time, where all comers are required to pay according to the terms of the Elizabeth Charter.
The photograph, taken by J. Benjamin Stone in the early 20th century, is a poignant reminder of days gone by when fairs were not just for fun but also served as important economic hubs. The closed entrance symbolizes the strict adherence to rules and regulations that governed such events in England.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when customs and traditions played a significant role in society. The fairgrounds may be empty now, but they once buzzed with activity as people from all walks of life came together to buy, sell, and socialize.
This print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on the past. It reminds us of our roots and how certain practices have evolved over time while others have remained unchanged. A true testament to the enduring power of tradition captured through the lens of J. Benjamin Stone's camera.
