Bartholomew Fair, 1807 - A Vibrant Snapshot of British Entertainment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Bartholomew Fair in 1807, a beloved tradition that brought joy and excitement to the people of Britain. Created by Thomas Rowlandson, a renowned artist of the 19th century, this hand-coloured etching showcases the bustling atmosphere and vibrant colours that defined this annual event. Located in Smithfield, City of London, Bartholomew Fair was a hub of amusement and entertainment. The fairgrounds were filled with an array of attractions including amusement rides and games that delighted visitors young and old. This image transports us back to a time when laughter echoed through St Bartholomews Hospital as families gathered to enjoy the festivities. Rowlandson's attention to detail brings this historical scene to life. The colour palette used adds depth and richness to every element depicted - from the lively crowd enjoying themselves at various stalls, to the iconic architecture surrounding them. As we gaze upon this piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are reminded not only of our heritage but also how traditions like Bartholomew Fair have shaped our cultural identity over centuries. It serves as a testament to Britain's love for enjoyment and celebration. This print is more than just an artwork; it is a window into history – capturing both typical scenes from daily life during that era while preserving cherished memories for generations yet unborn.
