The Fair on the Thames, February 4th 1814
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a remarkable moment frozen in time. In this aquatint print by Luke Clennell, we are transported back to a frosty winter day on the iconic River Thames. The scene is bustling with activity as people brave the icy conditions to partake in the festivities. At the center of attention stands a drummer, his instrument held high and frozen mid-beat. His rhythmic beats reverberate through the air, creating an enchanting melody that resonates across the frozen river. Surrounding him are tents adorned with vibrant colors and fluttering Union Jack flags, adding a patriotic touch to this lively fair. In stark contrast against this jubilant atmosphere looms St Paul's Cathedral in all its grandeur. Its majestic presence serves as a reminder of London's rich history and enduring spirit even amidst freezing temperatures. The tambourine player nearby adds an element of whimsy to this wintry scene. With each shake of her instrument, she brings joy and merriment to those gathered around her. This exquisite print from Bridgeman Images transports us back two centuries ago when Londoners embraced their resilience and celebrated life despite harsh weather conditions. It reminds us that even in times of adversity, human spirit prevails, bringing warmth and cheerfulness into our lives.
