The Fair, Stratford Cross - A Glimpse into 19th Century English Society and Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Fair, Stratford Cross" offers a fascinating glimpse into the customs and traditions of 19th century England. Created by an unknown English School artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. Depicting a bustling fair scene, this illustration was originally commissioned for John Brand's book "Observations on Popular Antiquities" published in 1877. The fair at Stratford Cross served as both a social gathering and marketplace where people from all walks of life would come together to celebrate and trade. Intriguingly detailed, the engraving showcases the diverse population inhabiting England during that time period. It highlights various ethnicities and societies coexisting within their traditional communities. Superstitions also play a role in this artwork as they were deeply ingrained in society back then. As we delve into this historic piece, we are transported to an era when fairs played an essential role in British culture. They provided entertainment for locals while serving as important economic hubs for merchants across Europe. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate the intricate engravings that captured these significant moments from our past. This particular print serves as a valuable artifact shedding light on the rich history of Great Britain during the late nineteenth century - truly an enchanting window into antiquity!
