EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Brough Hill" by John Atkinson showcases a picturesque scene from the past. The artwork, created with watercolors on paper, takes us back to a time when Brough Hill Fair was an eagerly anticipated event in the English countryside. The fair, held between September 30th and October 1st after 1752, had been celebrated during the holiday of St. Matthew since around 1330. In this vibrant depiction, we see a bustling fairground filled with activity and life. Horses are being tended to by ostlers and grooms while tents dot the landscape. The atmosphere is one of rural charm as people engage in various transactions involving ponies and livestock. Gypsies can be seen trading alongside locals, creating a diverse tapestry of individuals coming together for this autumnal gathering. Atkinson's attention to detail brings out the essence of this historical event, capturing not just the physical surroundings but also the spirit of community and commerce that thrived during such fairs. This remarkable piece transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the energy and vibrancy that characterized Brough Hill Fair. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers a glimpse into an era long gone but forever preserved through art.
