EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Joyful Ride: Two Children and a Monkey on a Fairground Roundabout, 1920s" This evocative pencil sketch captures the essence of childhood delight and the simple pleasures of a day at the fair. Dated back to the 1920s, the image features two children, one with a wide-eyed expression of excitement, the other with a mischievous grin, as they cling to the backs of two horses on a fairground roundabout. The horses, with their pricked ears and determined strides, seem to be in on the fun, as they gallop around the circular track. Beneath the horses, a playful monkey adds an extra dash of excitement to the scene. With its curious gaze and outstretched arm, it reaches up towards the children, as if trying to join in on their adventure. The monkey, a common sight at fairs and carnivals, adds a touch of whimsy and wonder to this charming depiction of a bygone era. Muriel Dawson, the talented artist behind this pencil sketch, masterfully captures the raw emotions and joyous energy of the moment. The intricate details in the children's clothing, the horses' manes, and the monkey's fur bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a simpler, more carefree era. This historical artwork serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of fairground rides and the memories they create. It invites us to imagine the laughter and joy that filled the air as these children experienced their thrilling adventure on the roundabout, accompanied by their mischievous monkey companion.
