EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Festival at Grimston Park, Yorkshire, held in aid of the York Association for the Care of Young Girls. The event, depicted here by an anonymous 19th-century English School artist, was a grand spectacle that aimed to raise funds and awareness for this noble cause. In this bustling scene, we see a myriad of characters and activities taking place. Miss Helen Bower from the 28th Regiment stands proudly alongside the honorable Mrs. Cecil Bingham as they oversee the festivities. Processions led by Captain Broadley parade through Grimston Park, accompanied by dancers and stage managers ensuring everything runs smoothly. The Harvest Queen and her court make their appearance in splendid costumes while Master HS Strangways acts as bearer for their majestic presence. The harvest theme is prevalent throughout with references to Maid Marian, Car of Ceres, Car of Flora, and even a waggoner transporting bountiful produce. Amidst all these revels are Mr. T Fielden, Mrs. P Cunliffe, Mr. Darey Ferrers, Mrs. E Gray along with many other notable figures who have come together to support this worthy cause. The festival exudes joy and merriment as children dance energetically under choreography guidance while adults watch on with delight. It is heartwarming to witness such unity in raising funds for young girls' care within Yorkshire's community. This enchanting print serves not only as a visual reminder but also as an inspiration to continue supporting organizations dedicated to nurturing our future generations.
