EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 18th-century England transports us back to the Frost Fair of 23 January 1716. The image, part of a private collection and now in the public domain, showcases an array of fascinating Frost Fair memorabilia that captures the spirit and excitement of this unique event. The scene depicted is bustling with activity as people gather on the frozen Thames River in London. The ice-covered river becomes a playground for both young and old, who engage in various forms of entertainment and commerce. In the foreground, Mr. Lawrence Andrewes can be seen operating his printing press, producing prints commemorating this extraordinary fair. The intricate details within this engraving allow us to explore every facet of life during this frosty celebration. From vendors selling their wares on makeshift stalls to families enjoying ice-skating and sledging, it truly encapsulates the joyous atmosphere that permeated throughout London during these rare occasions. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are reminded of how our ancestors found delight even amidst challenging weather conditions. It serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity while also providing insight into centuries-old traditions that have long since faded away. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness firsthand a moment frozen in time - an enchanting glimpse into one particular day at the Frost Fair over three centuries ago.
