EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of a Border Fair in the mid-19th century. Painted by John Ritchie, this oil on canvas artwork showcases Stagshaw Bank Fair in Northumberland during its summer festivities. The scene is bustling with activity as animals are gathered for sale in the background, while vendors and stalls line the fairgrounds. Intriguing details emerge upon closer inspection: a woman selling china from her stall catches the eye, alongside a young girl having her palm read. Two children can be seen happily leaving with their newly acquired toys, adding to the sense of joy and excitement that permeates this lively event. The artist's imagination comes into play as he creates an imaginary backdrop of crags surrounding Hexham visible in the distance. This touch adds depth and intrigue to an already visually stunning composition. With circus tents dotting the landscape and actors performing on stage, this painting transports viewers back to a time when fairs were not only places for commerce but also served as centers of entertainment and community gathering. The theatrical scenery further enhances this nostalgic ambiance. Preserved at Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into history; it reminds us of our timeless fascination with fairs and their ability to bring people together through play, commerce, and shared experiences.
