EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and experience the magic of a bygone era with this stunning photograph of a carousel ride at the St Giles Fair in Oxford, captured by renowned Victorian photographer Henry Taunt in 1895. The image transports us back in time, as a crowd of people, dressed in their Sunday best, gather around the carousel, their faces filled with excitement and wonder. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the carousel horses and chariots are a feast for the eyes, and the sense of community and shared enjoyment is palpable. The fairground atmosphere is alive with the sounds of laughter, the scent of popcorn and cotton candy, and the distant calls of the fairground workers, inviting visitors to try their luck at the various games and attractions. The annual St Giles Fair was a much-anticipated event in Oxford, taking place at the beginning of September. It was a time when the town came alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of the fairground. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of fairground rides and the simple pleasures they bring. Henry Taunt, a skilled and prolific photographer, captured this moment in time with exceptional skill and artistry. His ability to capture the essence of a scene and the emotions of the people within it is truly remarkable. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a valuable historical document, offering us a window into the past and a reminder of the joy and wonder that can be found in the simplest of pleasures.
