EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the bustling scene of the Horticultural Fete at Cheltenham's The Lawn in 1850. The monumental floral exposition, as described in the Illustrated London News, is considered to have been the most brilliant display of its kind ever produced in the provinces. Thousands of visitors from all walks of life gathered to marvel at the vibrant and exotic blooms on display, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. The photograph depicts a diverse crowd, with men and women of all ages, dressed in Victorian attire, mingling amongst the marquees and tents. Some visitors appear to be in deep conversation, while others are absorbed in admiring the intricately arranged flower arrangements. In the foreground, a man in an off-duty uniform stands near an old well, perhaps taking a break from the excitement of the day. The press, too, were in attendance, with several gentlemen from the Illustrated London News and other newspapers documented in the scene, capturing the event for posterity. The grandeur of the occasion is further emphasized by the elegant marquees and tents, which housed the various exhibits and displays. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horticulture and flower shows were a source of great entertainment and enjoyment for the British public.
