EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Lichfield "Greenhill Bower" festivities in all its glory. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a vibrant street scene filled with customs and traditions that have stood the test of time. As we delve into this image, our eyes are drawn to a procession led by passing sergeants and followed closely by Morris dancers. Their colorful costumes and rhythmic movements add a touch of enchantment to this lively celebration. In the midst of it all, we catch sight of a sword bearer proudly carrying his weapon as if symbolizing strength and unity. The streets are adorned with decorations as locals gather to witness these age-old festivities on Whit Monday. One cannot help but notice the statue of Dr. Johnson standing tall amidst the crowd, perhaps serving as a reminder of Lichfield's rich history and intellectual heritage. Amidst this joyous atmosphere, we spot a crier announcing important news or updates to eager ears. This engraving truly encapsulates not only the merriment but also the deep-rooted sense of community that defines Lichfield's Greenhill Bower celebrations. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this historical gem from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable window into Staffordshire's cultural tapestry for generations to come.
