EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare your taste buds for a delightful journey back in time! This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to a charming Victorian or Edwardian-era village fair, circa 1900s. At the heart of the scene, an ox roast is in full swing, with a crowd of excited onlookers gathered around, eager to savor the savory aroma wafting through the crisp autumn air. The ox, carefully roasted over an open flame, is the centerpiece of this lively gathering. The roast's golden-brown exterior glistens in the warm glow of nearby lanterns, casting an inviting and cozy atmosphere over the entire fairground. The anticipation on the faces of the villagers is palpable as they wait their turn to indulge in the succulent, juicy meat. Surrounding the ox roast, the fairground comes alive with the sounds, sights, and smells of a bygone era. Merry-go-rounds, Ferris wheels, and other vintage rides can be seen in the background, their bright colors and whimsical designs adding to the festive atmosphere. The air is filled with the sweet scent of freshly made candy apples, popcorn, and other delicious treats. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the simple joys and communal experiences that once defined village fairs. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the rich history and traditions that have shaped our world, and to cherish the memories of the past that continue to inspire us today.
